‘Return passport, lift woman’s travel ban’
Chasing lady on Ferrari
KUWAIT CITY, Feb 19: The Administrative Court has cancelled the decision of Ministry of Interior to withdraw the passport of a Kuwaiti woman, and instead ordered the ministry to give her a renewed passport and lift the travel ban that was imposed on her.
In a lawsuit filed by Lawyer Yousef Zayed Al-Delmani on behalf of his client, he said his client was surprised when she was arrested at the airport after she returned from a GCC country and her passport was confiscated. The passport was only returned to her ten months after she had filed a complaint.
She was arrested again three months later after she returned from London and was locked up for three days. Ministry of Interior had then withdrawn her passport.
Lawyer Al-Delmani said his client had not committed any crime that required the withdrawal of her passport, as the first incident was based on allegations of misuse of drugs.

issued by the society, the company is one among the leading companies in Kuwait but it has been violating the rights of its employees.
The society appealed to Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sheikh Khalid Al-Jarrah Al-Sabah to intervene in this matter and assist in improving the situation of these workers, especially since he had issued a decision to offer amnesty to violators of residency law to rectify their legal status before February 22.
The society affirmed its readiness to offer legal support to expatriate workers in Kuwait, declaring that they can call the hotline number 22215150 if they are seeking legal consultation and support.
Missing girl found: Police are looking for an unidentified young man who allegedly lured a young woman who is believed to be in her late teens to elope with him, from Surra toward Damascus Street.
In their defense, Lawyer Abdullah Al-Elanda faulted the investigation carried out by the Public Prosecution Department. He declared the interception, search and arrest of his clients to be null and void, especially as there was no justification for the officers to take such action.
He argued the substance found on his clients was different from what was sent to the Criminal Evidences Department, noting the allegation was a set up. He also said his clients maintained innocence from the beginning to the end.
For patients’ good: The Court of Appeals upheld the Administrative Court’s decision obliging the Ministry of Health to regularly dispense Pethidine to patients suffering from Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PDD), which is also known as the red blood cell breakdown.
The case was filed by Attorney Ahmad Failakawi on behalf of his client who suffers from the abovementioned condition. The client used to receive Pethidine from Amiri Hospital regularly, but he was suddenly asked to substitute his medication with morphine despite its negative reaction which was worse than the previous medicine.
The Ministry of Health appealed against the decision but the court rejected the appeal and upheld the lower court’s decision citing the Constitution which states that the ministry is obliged to provide treatment and proper health care for citizens.
