Youth groups plan to intensify protests – Opposition to take legal actions
KUWAIT: Following reports hinting at disagreements within the opposition about whether to carry out an unauthorized procession on the eve of parliamentary elections, divergent views are now emerging about how to move forward after the election day.
Differences emerged between views of the youth groups boycotting the elections who are all for more processions, gatherings and even civil disobedience as a way of continuing the protests against the change in the voting mechanism, and approach of the top opposition figures who only support legal and constitutional ways of protest. "Youth groups have been mulling over 'more dynamic' plans about post-election activities, but found little support from the opposition which prefers to confine its activities within the limits of law," Al-Rai reported yesterday quoting sources familiar with two most recent meetings held by opposition groups.
Youth groups affiliated to the opposition plan to organize a procession on the afternoon of Friday, Nov 30 but authorities are unlikely to issue the required license, given the fact that unauthorized marches are banned under Kuwait's law.
The event is titled 'Karamat Watan (dignity of a nation) III', as it follows two similar processions, one in late October and another earlier this month, which left many people injured and a few being arrested after police forcibly dispersed the unlicensed gatherings.
Meanwhile, the sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity revealed that the youth groups plan to be present at polling stations in order to convince voters to boycott the elections. "The post-election plans include staging the 'Karamat Watan IV' procession and undertaking activities that will impact normal life, such as civil disobedience and gatherings all across Kuwait," the sources said.
They added that most members of the oppositionist Majority Bloc were not expected to approve of these activities and would prefer to "instead seek legal methods."
