Kuwait has arrested a total of 351 expats of various nationalities who were violating the work law and residence regulations.

The accused also included two people in possession of 250 bottles of local alcohol, and six people practicing medical professions without a license.

The accused individuals have been referred to the relevant authorities, and action will be taken against them.

The surge in the number of deportations this year can be attributed to the continued security campaigns conducted in various areas at various times to reduce the number of marginal laborers and expatriates living illegally in Kuwait.
