KUWAIT CITY, March 27: The Hawalli police during a surprise raid on a printing press in Salmiya allegedly seized posters, leaflets and brochures which called upon the people of Bahrain to stage a coup. The posters also criticized the Bahraini rulers, reports Al-Shahed daily.

When the police whisked away an unidentified employee of the printing for interrogation, he said the material was ordered by a Kuwaiti woman who allegedly paid the man in advance.

The man also said the woman has already collected first lot of the printed material a few days ago. The man also said the woman sends her Asian maid to collect the printed material from the shop.
The employee has provided police with the telephone number of the woman.

Meanwhile, Islamic activist Jaber Al-Jalahma vehemently denied a local newspaper report that he recently went to Bahrain, along with an Islamic group, to support the demonstrators, reports Al-Rai daily.
Al-Jalahma asserted he traveled alone and visited his family, adding he did not meet any Bahraini official during his visit.  He also accused the newspaper of fabricating the story and sensationalizing events to have wide readership. He pointed out he has social and personal relations with a number of people in Bahrain; hence, it is only natural for him to visit the country from time to time.

In the meantime, Al-Rai daily has quoted businessman Mahmoud Haidar as saying there is no truth in recent media reports that he is banned from entering Bahrain.

Haidar affirmed the security authorities at the Bahrain airport have not prevented him from entering Bahrain, because he did not visit the country recently. He explained his last visit was some time ago when he facilitated the marriage of a large number of Bahrainis from all sects in the presence of a representative from the King’s court and Shura Council Head Khalifa Al-Zahrani. He added he finds it strange that newspapers publish such erroneous reports, considering the current situation in the region.

Meanwhile, the Bahraini political crisis continues to cast its shadows over the Kuwaiti political scene, reports Al-Watan Arabic daily.

As Bahrain intensifies action against so-called ‘Kuwaiti offenders,’ special sources said Bahraini authorities will ban the entry of all people who attacked the kingdom, especially if it is proven that the person was involved in inciting violence in Bahrain. Sources revealed that a team has been setup to track all statements issued or said by all members of parliament or prominent figures in Kuwait, Gulf, and Arab countries, in addition to some European capitals. Any person involved in attacking Bahrain will be put on the blacklist. Kuwaiti businessman Mahmoud Haidar has been added to the list two days ago for the way media outlets owned by him dealt with the Bahraini issue.
