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

Revoke Kuwait's Penal Code 1960, Article 198
Release Mahaal Mutairi who is wrongfully imprisoned in the wrong prison
