Following freedom of expression, the mass stripping of citizenship and the situation of the stateless Bidoon in Kuwait.
Our position on Kuwait
We call for the protection of free expression in Kuwait, an end to the mass stripping of citizenship and the repeal of the recent amendments to the nationality law, a resolution of statelessness for the Bidoon community, and an end to detentions by State Security for peaceful speech.
