Kuwait: Dozens Injured, Arrested in Bidun Crackdown
State Security Disperses Hundreds of Stateless Residents

Kuwaiti authorities should look around the neighborhood to see that violent attacks on demonstrators only fuel the protests. The government should allow demonstrators to speak and assemble freely – as is their right.

(New York) – Hundreds of stateless residents of Kuwait took to the streets on February 18, 2011, to demand their rights, with dozens seeking treatment for injuries in local hospitals and dozens more detained by state security, Human Rights Watch said today.

Human Rights Watch called on Kuwaiti authorities to release the “Bidun” protesters or charge them with a criminal offence and bring them immediately before an independent judge.

The Kuwait government has issued repeated warnings that people should not gather in public, despite the country’s commitment under international law to protect the right to peaceful assembly.
