The State of Kuwait is attentively following up on recent rapid regional developments and their repercussions, said a government official on Friday.
In a press release, head of the Center for Government Communication (CGC) and official cabinet spokesman Tareq AlMezrem called on all individuals to avoid discourse that might affect national unity and lead to division and trouble.
He added that the government had the legal right to pursue those threatening security and stability in the country, especially during the current turbulent situation.
AlMezrem affirmed that the Kuwaiti government was keen on bolstering freedom of speech and expression within the mainframe of the constitution and law.
He called on citizens to promote dialogue in favor of national unity and exercise their rights in a manner that would not defame any sector of society, avoiding all efforts to spread rumors and false information and seek news from official sources.
His statement came on the backdrop of the killing of Qassem Soleimani, commander of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force, and the second man in command of the Iraqi AlHashd AlShaabi irregular force Abu Mahdi AlMuhandes were killed in an US military operation near Baghdad International Airport earlier today.
