The Ministry of Interior has issued a directive to prohibit police officers from appearing in their uniforms in public spaces, including markets, shopping malls, cooperative societies, wedding halls, cemeteries, and mourning gatherings. The ministry emphasized that disciplinary action will be taken against officers who fail to comply with this order. However, exceptions will be made for officers whose duties require them to be present in these locations.
In related news, the Ministry of Interior continues its intensive efforts to arrest and deport expatriates who are found violating residency and labor regulations in Kuwait.
According to security sources, the Deportation Center has successfully completed the transfer of female detainees from the old detention building in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh to a newly built, internationally compliant facility in Sulaibiya. The sources also disclosed that the number of deportations in January alone reached approximately 2,000 individuals of various nationalities.
The Deportation Department is actively working on improving the deportation process for violators referred from all security sectors. Efforts include ensuring that humanitarian standards are upheld during the detainees' time in custody.
The Ministry of Interior has assured the public that it will continue to enforce the law without hesitation, holding both workers and employers accountable for any violations related to residency and labor laws.
