Kuwait 2007: Driving Through Kuwait City




07/11/2007
In July 2007, Refugees International visited Kuwait to assess the condition of statelessness faced by an estimated 90,000-130,000 bidun (meaning ‘without’ in Arabic) and evaluate government efforts to remedy this denial of basic human rights. Owing to their lack of citizenship, bidun are denied access to formal employment, national health care and free education. They are not permitted to own property, register a car in their name, own a telephone, or even purchase a SIM card.
