The "loud voiced" member of parliament said that he, along with his group, will form human rights committees that will belong to the National Front for the Protection of the Constitution in order to monitor any attempt by officers and policemen to attack any citizen that takes to the street. He said complaints will be submitted to the World Human Rights Committees in the violating officer’s name. We realize from this talk that this group plans on provoking policemen (as was the case was when the National Assembly was stormed), in an attempt to anger them. After provoking the police there will be probably be a reaction from the police, and these people will consider it an attack against them- although the opposite is correct.

We advise the Interior Ministry to behave like those countries that have human rights committees, such as Britain and America, and to protect the safety of all citizens. Today, with just the push of a button online, we can see police from both the US and Great Britain dealing violently with every person going overboard and not obeying police orders and the law. The Interior Ministry must set up a police line, declaring that the majority group must not cross it during the upcoming gathering, and must clearly declare that whoever crosses those lines will be dealt with accordingly. It must also make the announcement in the media to protect the ministry’s legal stand towards those who scare the people and disregard security and safety in the country.

I also advise police officers and individuals to seek the help of relatives and friends to film the provocative attempts by some of demonstrators using their mobiles. This can then be used as evidence of civilians attacking policemen and keeping them from performing their duties.

There are some MPs who are millionaires, who have business and widespread properties in many countries, so are we to suppose that those MPs are well satisfied to the point that they did not get into the assembly to increase their finances and profits through government tenders, and that they are so humble to a point that they did not get into the assembly for social prestige and a diplomatic passport, receptions at the VIP halls in other countries, and the ability to pass laws that benefit their businesses and interests? Are we supposed to believe that they arrived there only because they are good citizens who seek the service of Kuwait and its society, and that they spend their time and effort for them, even for free? If that is true, then why are they always behaving in a way that harms the country and its people?

One of those MPs wants to control the ‘ignorant’ so that they do not lead the country to destruction. So who are these ‘ignorant’ the respected MP is referring to? The ‘ignorant’ he is referring to are those who resort to specialists in courts in order to rule on differences and disputes, such as the issue of referring the five constituencies issue to the constitutional court in search of a constitutional solution to a problem, instead of resorting to satellite channels, microphones and Irada Square, and igniting the nation with destructive rage.

The ignorant he speaks of are those who refuse to attend gatherings in Diwaniyas, streets and squares to shout insults at officials, to scream in the face of the authorities and collect revolutionary signatures against them. Instead, these ‘ignorant’ citizens gather peacefully and advise in secret, as rational people used to do.

The ‘ignorant’ he means are those who exert their efforts to keep Kuwait calm and stable, where the authority is not threatened on every issue, and where the opposition doesn’t exist solely to prey upon the instability they, themselves, foment. Those are the ignorant in the eyes of this MP, so we can only hope that the entire nation remains ignorant so that we can live in peace, as we used to do before this knowledge arrived. – Al-Watan
