Kuwait denies residency visas for Lebanese over Hezbollah links
Kuwaiti authorities revoked on Monday residency permits of 60 Lebanese nationals over their alleged links with Lebanon’s Hezbollah, which was labeled a terrorist organization by Gulf Arab states.
 

The step comes a week after Kuwait deported 11 Lebanese and three Iraqis on charges of having direct links to Hezbollah.

 

The Kuwaiti Arabic daily al-Qabas quoted a Kuwaiti security source as saying that the people to be deported can stay in the country under a temporary residency visa of one to two months until they receive their financial dues and make the necessary arrangements.

 

The source, however, added that those among the group of would-be-deportees that have been classified as “dangerous” have only 48 hours to leave the country.

 

Last week, Kuwait announced that it will refrain from renewing residency permits for 1,100 Lebanese and Syrian nationals suspected of having links to Hezbollah.
