One of the emir's great-nephews is
sympathetic to the Kuwaiti opposition:
Kuwait has released Shaikh Abdullah Salem Al Sabah, one of two members
of the ruling family arrested for tweets deemed critical of the
government, he said on Twitter on Saturday...
Shaikh Abdullah said he was questioned by the secret service police on
accusations of insulting Emir Shaikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah and
instigating against the regime.
He is the grandson of the emir’s half-brother, the late Shaikh Abdullah Al Ahmad Al Sabah.
The two young royals have written tweets sympathetic to the Kuwaiti
opposition, which has been organising protests against an amendment to
the electoral law seen as a ploy to produce a pro-government parliament
in a snap December 1 general election.
I have no background on the other detained prince, one Nawaf Malik al-Sabah.
