Over 300 Kuwaitis are being tried for “insulting the Amir”. This number includes political activists targeted directly, former politicians and everyday citizens being tried under an antiquated lèse-majesté law (Article 25 of the 1970 State Security Law of 1970).

Kuwait, formerly a beacon of freedom of expression in the Middle East, has been using the broad language of the legislation to prosecute any government opposition.

We, a group of Kuwaitis who stand for freedom of expression and democracy, are demanding an end to political persecution and changes to the outdated state security laws.
