It is Just a start “Kuwaiti Police Break Up Demonstration By Bangladeshi Workers”

Monday, Jul 28, 2008

KUWAIT CITY, Kuwait (AFP)–Riot policemen wielding batons Monday broke up a demonstration in Kuwait by Bangladeshi workers and made several arrests among the protesters, who were demanding a pay rise and improved living conditions.

The incident occurred in Jelib al-Shuyukh, northwest of Kuwait City, scene of one of two protests near the capital involving hundreds of Bangladeshis.

The second demonstration took place in Mahbulah, south of Kuwait City, witnesses said, without specifying if there had been any police intervention.

In May, the Kuwaiti Interior Ministry warned that it would deport foreigners who instigate gatherings and strikes, and would arrest and prosecute the participants.

About 200,000 Bangladeshis work in Kuwait, mostly as cleaners and in other low-paid jobs.

Hundreds have gone on strike in recent months complaining of non-payment of salaries or delays in obtaining their wages as well as inhuman working conditions.

They have also charged that they are receiving half of the $200 monthly salary promised them in Bangladesh before arriving in Kuwait.

KUWAIT CITY, March 17: The Kuwaiti cabinet resigned on Monday alleging that the opposition-dominated Parliament refused to cooperate, in the latest political crisis to hit the country. The move raised the prospects of a new dissolution of Parliament and early elections, amid rising sectarian tensions and non-stop confrontations between MPs and the government. His Highness the Prime Minister Sheikh Nasser Mohammad Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, a nephew of HH the Amir, handed the letter of resignation to HH the Deputy Amir and Crown Prince, Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, as the Amir is out of the country. During the weekly cabinet meeting, First Deputy Premier and Defence Minister Sheikh Jaber Mubarak Al-Sabah earlier tendered the resignation of cabinet ministers en masse to the prime minister, citing non-cooperation from MPs.
