schema:articleBody	A Kuwaiti court Tuesday sentenced three protesters to between 10 years and life in prison after they had demanded greater rights for stateless Arabs, Amnesty International said. The rights group said 15 men, including a leading rights activist, were arrested in a crackdown in July last year following peaceful demonstrations by members of the stateless bidoon group. They faced a number of charges including participation in unauthorised demonstrations, spreading false news and state security offences, it added. "A Kuwaiti criminal court today handed prison sentences of between life and 10 years in prison to three men from the stateless bidoon community, including one in his absence, for their peaceful activism," the London-based group said. "The court acquitted one man, released the 12 remaining men on a pledge of good conduct for two years, and the additional condition of bail payment of 1,000 Kuwaiti dinars ($3,300) each for five of them," including rights activist Abdulhakim al-Fadhli. The sentences were "yet another illustration of the Kuwaiti authorities' refusal to recognise the rights of the bidoon," Heba Morayef, Amnesty's director for the Middle East and North Africa, said in a statement. "These men should be commended for peacefully rallying and speaking out for their rights against Kuwait's discrimination of the bidoon," she said. Rights groups have repeatedly accused Kuwait of mistreating about 100,000 stateless Arabs, saying the Gulf country has failed to recognise the right of these long-term residents to citizenship. Kuwait has insisted that most bidoon or their ancestors came from neighbouring countries and do not qualify for citizenship. According to Amnesty, the bidoon face restrictions on employment, health care and state support provided to Kuwaiti citizens despite reforms announced in 2015. sl-dm/hc
