The Third Administrative Circuit of the Court of First Instance decided to cancel the decision of Ministry of Interior to hold back a Kuwaiti citizen’s passport. According to the lawsuit filed by Lawyer Esmat Al-Kharboutli on the behalf of the citizen, the plaintiff suffers from a psychiatric disease and had travelled to Thailand for convalescence for a couple of weeks after leaving the hospital.Based on the doctor’s advice, he had taken his medicines with him.

However, he was forced to extend his stay in Thailand. When his medicines ran out, he searched for the medicines in pharmacies in Thailand but did not find them. He then called Kuwait’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, asking for help but did not receive any response. After a few days, his medical condition deteriorated and he fell unconscious after reaching Kuwait International Airport. However, securitymen seized his passport and referred him to Psychiatric Medicine Hospital where he was admitted for three months. After he left the hospital, the General Department of Criminal Investigations refused to give him his passport. Lawyer Al-Kharboutli said the passport is the right of the citizen and should be with him wherever he is, insisting that there are no criminal cases recorded against her client. She asked the court to return the passport to her client.
