Kuwait arrests 823, deports 1,084 in week-long residency, labor law crackdown

Kuwait intensifies crackdown on residency and labor law violations.

KUWAIT CITY, May 24: The General Department of Residence Affairs Investigations has intensified its nationwide security efforts in cooperation with the Public Authority for Manpower, Kuwait Municipality, and the Kuwait Fire Force, as part of an ongoing campaign to apprehend violators of residency and labor laws.

Between May 11 and 18, inspection teams conducted coordinated raids across several governorates, focusing primarily on industrial zones including Shuwaikh Industrial, Amghara, and Na’ayem Scrap. Authorities reported the arrest of 823 individuals found in violation of residency and labor regulations during these operations.

The inspection campaigns targeted multiple non-compliant sites and facilities, leading to the detention of a large number of offenders. Legal procedures were promptly initiated against them, in coordination with shelters run by the Public Authority for Manpower.

In the same timeframe, 1,084 violators were deported after completing the necessary legal processes. The deportations were carried out in cooperation with the Deportation and Detention Affairs Department.

The Ministry of Interior reaffirmed its commitment to continue these intensive inspection campaigns, stressing that violators — whether workers or employers—will be held accountable. Authorities emphasized their determination to uphold the rule of law and deter any attempts to breach labor and residency regulations.

KUWAIT CITY, July 3: A long-running legal battle stemming from a violent incident at the Salmi border has concluded, with three officers paying KD45,000 in compensation to a citizen they assaulted in front of his family. The case, which was first reported by the daily in October 2020, involved a physical altercation between the citizen and the officers at the border checkpoint.

The full settlement amount was paid before the filing of a final civil compensation suit.
