Supporter of co-education in Kuwait receives death threat
- Kuwait: Thursday, February 07 - 2008 at 08:12
A senior Kuwaiti liberal MP said his life was threatened after he proposed amendments to two laws that enforce the segregation of the sexes at universities, reported AFP. Ali Al Rashed has called on the interior ministry to apprehend the 'terrorist' who threatened him in a telephone call late on Tuesday. Kuwait's parliament, controlled by Islamists and conservatives, passed a law in 1996 stipulating that male and female students at Kuwait University and other higher education institutions be completely separated. It also passed another law in 2000 extending the ban on co-education to private universities.
