The 24 Kuwaitis detained for their alleged role in the storming of the country's parliament last month were released yesterday, a lawmaker has said. According to MP Waleed Al Tabtabai, who was among the leaders of the rally that muscled its way into the parliament's main hall on November 16, the detainees were released on bail of 1,000 dinars (Dh13,234) each. MP Shuaib Al Muwaizri hailed the decision to free the detainees, but added that the case must be closed. "We congratulate the young people and their relatives on their release," he said. "However, we are waiting for another decision that will warm our hearts and that is closing the case. They just wanted to convey the message that they would not like to see the parliament continue its sessions while some of its members are implicated in the bank deposits scandal," he said. Kuwait's public prosecution is looking into cases reported by three banks after they discovered that their bank accounts had been grossly inflated following the deposit of huge amounts of money.
