A Gulf human rights group on Tuesday de**unced Kuwait's decision to revoke the citizenship of political opponents, warning such measures only fuel tensions between the region's monarchies and their people. "We condemn these policies... and remind the Gulf ruling families that the people are **t a part of their property," the Gulf Forum for Civil Societies said in a statement. Kuwait on Monday revoked the citizenship of a former opposition MP and the owner of a pro-opposition satellite channel and a daily newspaper along with their family members. The Forum said similar actions were used by Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, which along with Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Oman and Qatar form the Gulf Cooperation Council.
