Kuwait. A group of Bedoon have just been released from the prison. They were arrested during the demonstration of the first May 2012. On May 1 between 200 and 300 Bedoon gathered near al-Sha’bi mosque in Taima to demand government action on their citizenship claims and resolution of their stateless status. Abdul Hakeem al-Fadhli, a prominent Bedoon activist, was among those arrested. The ministry alleged that demonstrators ignored its “repeated warning” that demonstrations by “illegal residents” are not allowed.Kuwaiti authorities don’t respect the rights of Bedoon to peaceful assembly. Masked officers normally use batons and harmoured vehicles to disperse and arrest the protesters, partecipants and Kuwaiti activists. Riot police use smoke bombs and hot water.
