Kuwait has revoked the citizenship of 10 people, including activists, the government said Monday in the second such move in less than a month as part of a *****down on dissent. The cabinet said the decision was based on a provision in the nationality law that allows citizenship to be revoked of those who threaten Kuwait's security, social order or eco**my. On July 21, Kuwait revoked the citizenship of several people, including the owner of a pro-opposition television station and newspaper, Ahmad Jabr al-Shammari, and former Islamist opposition MP Abdullah al-Barghash along with his family members. "** government has the right to strip away its people?s citizenship simply because it disapproves of them, their opinions, or their actions," said HRW's Joe Stork.
