Kuwait’s extremist lawmaker proposes jail terms for Hezbollah backers

‘A member of Kuwaiti parliament has proposed legislation calling for supporters of Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement to be sentenced to up to 20 years in jail.
The draft legislation, submitted to parliament by lawmaker Waleed al-Tabtabai, well-known for his extremist views, stipulates a jail term of between 10 and 20 years for members of Hezbollah and anyone who shows any form of loyalty to the resistance movement.
It also proposes jail terms of up to five years for anyone displaying any symbol associated with the Lebanese resistance group.
The lawmaker also proposed that Hezbollah be classified a “terrorist organization.”
The developments come after the Supreme Court in Kuwait last month convicted 21 Shia Muslims of forming a “terrorist cell” with ties to Hezbollah and plotting attacks in the Persian Gulf state.’
