Kuwait: Partial Curfew Appeal Rejected
Kuwait’s lower court has rejected appeals against the partial curfew. The curfew was imposed as part of anti-Coronavirus measures introduced by the authorities. The court said the Health Minister is authorised by law to recommend measures to tackle the spread of serious diseases. However they called on the authorities to continuously review the restrictions and measures to establish a balance between serving public interests, securing the safety of society and safeguarding the health system while preserving the rights of individuals and their economic and social rights. They called on authorities to revise the duration of the curfew and travel restrictions.
