Kuwait’s government stripped five opposition figures of their citizenship as part of the Gulf state’s wider “iron fist” policy to quell political dissent.
The cabinet ordered to revoke the citizenship of Ahmad Al-Shemmeri, owner of a pro-opposition newspaper and television station, and Abdullah Al-Barghash, a former Islamist lawmaker as well as three members of his family, according to the official state news agency.
