Kuwait ‘playing games’ with lives of more than 100,000 Bidun residents | Amnesty International
“Instead of playing games with people’s lives and futures, authorities
in Kuwait must find a long-term solution to this problem by ensuring all
Biduns have access to an independent, prompt and fair process when
applying for citizenship," said Said Boumedouha, Deputy Director of
Amnesty International's Middle East and North Africa programme.
More than 100,000 Bidun may be eligible for Kuwaiti nationality but are considered ‘illegal residents’ by the government.
