Status rectified The Court of Appeals ordered the Ministry of Interior and the Central System for Remedying Status of Illegal Residents (CSRSIR) to rectify the error in the identification documents of two siblings where their citizenship has been specified as Iraqi instead of Bedoun. Counsel to the plaintiffs explained that the two sisters were born in Kuwait to a Bedoun father and Kuwaiti mother. Their father had served meritoriously in the Ministry of Defense and he had received a certificate of honor on 18 September 1991 from Sheikh Hamad Fahad Al-Sabah for his outstanding performance during the Gulf War. The Attorney further explained that his clients were raised and educated in Kuwait. CSRSIR had issued security cards and traveling passports for them while one of them was also issued with a driver’s license. However, they were shocked when they renewed their security cards in 2011 to discover that their citizenship had been changed to Iraqi. The Attorney also stressed that his clients had nothing to do with Iraq and they wondered how their nationality was changed to a country where they did not belong. Courtesy: Arabtimesonline
