6 held during raids on massage facilities
Authorities in Kuwait have arrested six people during a raid on massage facilities in the upscale area of Salmiya in the capital Kuwait City. The six admitted during questioning that they were involved in “immoral activities”, Kuwaiti daily Al Watan reported on Monday.
Several social media users called for legal action against the holders of the commercial licences for the facilities, and not just those working there.
Homosexuality is socially taboo and a legal offence in Kuwait and other Gulf countries. Lawmakers have been pushing for a crackdown on homosexuals, and have called for the adoption of tougher immigration measures against expatriate homosexuals as well as their prompt deportation.
