Protests broken up with stun grenades - Kuwait

Protests by hundreds of opposition activists in Kuwait were broken up by security forces using stun grenades on Sunday.

Stating that the protest was not licensed, security forces began to disperse crowds as soon as they gathered in small groups of 200-300, and were seen to be chasing protesters into side streets.

According to a former MP, about 20 people were arrested.

Meanwhile, the interior ministry spokesperson claimed that many "instigators of unrest" had been arrested.
