It insisted that this attitude of Ministry of Interior is in direct violation of the Kuwaiti Constitution, which guarantees the rights of every citizen, adding that suspects are innocent until proven otherwise by the court.

It asked the ministry to respect the rights of suspects, as the ministry is considered as the “shield of Kuwait” that maintains the country’s security and stability.
