A Man In Kuwait Was Arrested For Walking Naked In A Busy Street

A young man walking naked in Kuwait's busy streets has been arrested for the act, local media said.

There is a video of the man online, which shows him making indecent gestures and angering the road users.

The Interior Ministry announced shortly after the video went viral that the individual had been arrested in the Hawalli Governorate, south of Kuwait City.

He has not yet been identified as a citizen of any country. A ministry official said, however, that preliminary investigation shows the arrested was receiving treatment for mental health issues.

Kuwaiti law punishes indecent acts with up to a year in prison and a fine of up to one thousand dinars, or any combination thereof.

An incident similar to this occurred in Beirut two days back when a woman was filmed naked on the streets. In addition to her sunglass and white shirt, she did not wear anything from her waist down.

She was arrested for the lewd act after the Lebanese police investigated the video. Later on, she was released with a promise not to repeat the offense.
