Several queer friends have alerted me to the case of Maha Al Mutairi, a #Kuwaiti transgender woman, who I am told is being held in a men’s prison. #FreeMahaAlMutairi #LGBTQ 
Until I learn more, I am sharing this useful resource Article 198 which criminalises “imitations” of the opposite sex and is used to limit gender expression by #LGBT people in #Kuwait article198.carrd.co/# #AbolishArticle198 #FreeMahaAlMutairi
I hope @HRC, @humanrights1st, @hrw and @amnesty and others are aware of Maha Al Mutairi’s urgent need for help.

The situation for trans people in Kuwait is dire. In 2012 @hrw documented human rights abuses in the report "They hunt us down for fun". Today a Kuwaiti trans woman, Maha Al Mutairi, handed herself into custody rather than face continued police abuse
