Police Officers Held in Disciplinary Detention Released Ahead of Eid in Kuwait

KUWAIT CITY, May 26: The Ministry of Interior announced the release of all police officers held in disciplinary detention on the occasion of Eid al-Adha, following directives issued by First Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Sheikh Fahad Yousef Saud Al-Sabah.

According to the ministry, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Interior Major General Abdul Wahab Ahmed Al-Wuhaib issued a decision ordering the release of all detained police personnel, considering the period they had already served as sufficient.
