KUWAIT (Reuters) - Kuwait's government has revoked the citizenship of two opposition figures and some family members and shut two media outlets, the state news agency reported, in moves that could deepen a political crisis in the U.S.-allied Gulf Arab state.
The move comes after the cabinet adopted what it called an "iron fist policy" last week following protests over the arrest of a prominent opposition politician, in which the cabinet threatened to remove the citizenship of people suspected of trying to "undermine the stability" of the state.
