The revocation of Kuwaiti citizenship for various individuals, including cases like that of Iranian actor Daoud Hussein, has been part of Kuwait’s wider efforts to address fraudulent and improperly obtained nationalities. Kuwaiti authorities, under Decree No. 118/2024, have been actively investigating and withdrawing citizenship from individuals who are suspected of obtaining it through forged documentation, dependency on another citizen’s status, or dual nationality, which is prohibited under Kuwaiti law.arabtimesonline. gulfnews
Kuwait’s Ministry of Interior and its Supreme Committee for Citizenship have ramped up these efforts, reviewing hundreds of cases. These investigations are reportedly influenced by national security concerns, as well as the desire to maintain the integrity of Kuwaiti citizenship. Recently, over 100 people, including high-profile figures, have had their citizenship revoked, with the ministry noting adherence to laws set forth in 1959 and subsequent amendments. gulfnews.com
The Kuwaiti government’s actions reflect a commitment to closely monitor citizenship cases and impose strict measures against violations, underscoring a stance against unauthorized naturalizations.
