KUWAIT CITY, May 5: Kuwait has warned that it would deport expatriates who instigate gatherings and strikes and would arrest and prosecute the participants.

Kuwait’s ministry of interior said in a statement that it had noticed recently that some Arab and foreign communities resort to gatherings and strikes for various reasons which was illegal action and undermine state security.

It further warned that the ministry would take necessary measures to arrest and prosecute participants in such gatherings and would deport those who proved to have instigated others.

The statement comes after the authorities earlier this week deported about a dozen Bangladeshi cleaners who were charged with instigating a strike by hundreds of fellow workers to demand payment of salaries.
