KUWAIT, Dec 19 (KUNA) -- The interior ministry said it would deal
"decisively" with any illegal assembly or demonstration, and would not allow
anyone to undermine national security, attack security forces and violate the
law.
Many groups of illegal residents joined by activists attacked, in Taima
area in Al-Jahra yesterday, police forces causing injuries to the field
commander, the ministry said in a statement.
This, it added, forced the security forces to fire sound bullets and
disperse the demonstrators with water cannons because they did not listen to
calls to calm down.
Any assembly or demonstration should be permitted by the interior ministry,
in addition to the fact that non-Kuwaitis are banned from taking part in them
or they would face an imprisonment of two years maximum or a KD 1,000 fine.
