Kuwaiti authorities arrested Walid Al-Tabatabai, a former member of the National Assembly, on Sunday just one day after the countrys emir announced the dissolution of the legislature and the formation of a new government. Emir Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah also suspended parts of the Gulf countrys constitution. Kuwaiti social media users shared Tabtabais last post on X (formerly Twitter) in which he accused unnamed countries of interfering in Kuwaits internal affairs, calling this unacceptable and expressed hope that the National Assembly would be reinstated with all its constitutional power
