“Kuwait plunged into political turmoil on Friday after the public prosecution ordered the detention of three former opposition MPs for three days with more arrests expected.  The three were questioned for nine hours on accusations of undermining the status of Kuwait’s ruler before being taken into custody.  The prosecutor also extended the detention for three more days of four opposition activists arrested during clashes between police and protesters following a huge rally.  It is illegal under the constitution to criticise the emir who enjoys extensive authority and must be from the Al-Sabah ruling family, in power for over 250 years.”
