Rights group Refugees International (RI) has accused Kuwaiti security officials of abusing prisoners.
Protests in December and January by ‘Stateless Arabs’ – Bedouins who live in Kuwait but have never been granted citizenship – resulted in police using rubber bullets and water cannons to break up demonstrations.
And RI spokesman Sarnata Reynolds claims those arrested have been mistreated in prison.

She said: “It’s 100,000 people who have lived there for generations in a country which has a US$47 billion surplus.”
Reynolds described jail conditions as an “abhorrent, ugly stain on the country”.
