Hajj approval for persons with revoked Kuwaiti citizenship
KUWAIT CITY, May 27: Hajj caravans have been informed about the approval of competent authorities to issue Hajj permits to those whose Kuwaiti citizenship was revoked following Article Eight of the Nationality Law, after fulfilling the specified conditions. Sources told the newspaper that those who meet the conditions will be issued passports and their names will be removed from the banned list, paving the way for them to be assigned to the caravans.
Sources added that those who do not meet the conditions — those with a travel ban, a security restriction or an expired passport — are excluded from the aforementioned procedures. Sattam Al-Muzain, head of the Ministry of Islamic Affairs team in the Kuwaiti Hajj expedition, has announced the arrival of the expedition members to the Holy Land in preparation for receiving the pilgrims from Kuwait.
This is a confirmation of the report about the arrival of Kuwaiti Hajj expedition teams to the Holy Land that the newspaper published recently. Al-Muzain said the teams and committees began their duties immediately upon their arrival at the expedition's headquarters in Makkah, affirming that they have completed preparations to provide the best services to the guests of Almighty Allah from Kuwait.

Iranian Embassy holds event to commemorate Imam Khomeini
KUWAIT: Iranian Ambassador to Kuwait Mohammad Toutonji speaks at an event held to mark the 36th anniversary of the passing of the founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini. KUWAIT: The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Kuwait held a ceremony to mark the 36th anniversary of the passing of the founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini. The event was attended by a distinguished group of scholars, intellectuals, social and political figures, several former members of the National Assembly, members of the Kuwaiti-Iranian Friendship Association, and a large crowd from the Iranian community. 'On this great day, we gather to commemorate a man whose influence extended far beyond the borders of the Islamic Republic of Iran,' Iranian Ambassador Mohammad Toutonji said. Imam Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic, was an inspiration to all the free people of the world. He was a figure who united religion and worldly affairs, basing every social movement on faith and justice. The late Imam was not merely a political leader; he was a prominent jurist, a profound philosopher, and a spiritual thinker reflecting deeply on the essence of humanity and existence.' Ambassador Toutonji continued: 'In a world where the voices of the oppressed are still silenced, and people are crushed under the weight of power, greed, and war, the message of Imam Khomeini - a message of justice, dignity, faith, and freedom - is more urgent than ever. Let us all, with our different religions, languages, and homelands, stand united to build a humane society worthy of our dignity.' Several speakers also gave remarks, highlighting that the Palestinian cause was always on Imam Khomeini's agenda. They emphasized his lifelong commitment to Islamic unity, his resistance to division and discord, and his opposition to any attempts to sow strife - efforts that are detrimental to the interests of the Islamic nation. They stressed that the Imam consistently called for unity and the extinguishing of sedition.
