Kuwait MP calls to lift restrictions on organizing concerts and musical shows

Kuwaiti lawmaker Nabeel Al Fadhl has called for lifting restrictions on organizing concerts and musical shows in the country.

According to him, the country had suffered tremendously from the negative consequences of these restrictions and the major effects include the rise of extremism, forcing several people to go to other countries on holidays and the emergence of a sense of loss among young people who keep parading with their cars to impress girls. The information ministry should now step in and address the situation by lifting the restrictions, he said.

Restrictions were imposed in 2004 after 31 of the parliament’s 50 lawmakers objected to a concert performed by singers from the Star Academy reality show.
