Kuwait Revokes Citizenship Of Two Prominent Actors Years After Their Deaths
Decision raises questions over why names of artistes who died years ago appeared on list
Kuwait has revoked the citizenship of two celebrated actors, Abdulmohsen Al Suhaiel and Abdulrazzaq Ibrahim Al Khalaf, better known as Burzaiqa, despite both men having died years ago, as part of a sweeping decree that stripped nationality from 365 people.
The Supreme Committee for Nationality Affairs said on Sunday that the late Abdulmohsen Al Suhaiel and Abdulrazzaq Ibrahim Al Khalaf had their Kuwaiti citizenship revoked, along with that of their dependents.
Al Suhaiel, who emerged in the 1960s and 1970s as part of the country’s formative generation of performers, was celebrated for his roles in theatre and television that helped cement Kuwait’s reputation as a regional centre of Gulf drama.
Burzaiqa, remembered for his comedic presence, also left an imprint on the Kuwaiti stage.
