The Kuwaiti government has revoked the citizenship of 4,141 individuals, including 4,135 women, according to the latest issue of the official government gazette, Kuwait Alyom. The large-scale citizenship revocation was carried out through three decrees and a Cabinet decision. Under the first decree, citizenship was withdrawn from four individuals and those who had acquired it through affiliation. A second decree revoked the nationality of one person along with their dependents. Additionally, a Cabinet decision, citing Article 21 bis “A” of Kuwait’s Nationality Law, ordered the withdrawal of citizenship from another individual and those associated with them. Earlier, Kuwaiti Interior Minister Sheikh Fahd Yousef Saud Al Sabah announced on Wednesday that individuals whose citizenship has been revoked will continue to receive all the benefits they previously held as Kuwaiti citizens until their death. In a press statement, the head of the Supreme Committee for the Realization of Kuwaiti Nationality clarified that those affected “will be issued a blue Kuwaiti passport without nationality status, along with a civil card similar to the blue Kuwaiti card and will be treated as Kuwaitis in practice.”
