Kuwait has deported at least 21 supporters of Egyptian opposition figure Mohammed ElBaradei so far, BBC News reported Sunday (April 11th). Roughly 20 other Egyptian backers have been detained in Kuwait, say colleagues of ElBaradei in Egypt. Kuwait's Interior Minister Jaber al-Sabah said the Egyptians had illegally assembled and criticised Egypt's long time president, Hosni Mubarak, both of which are crimes under Kuwaiti law. The detained Egyptians reportedly belong to a Facebook group supportive of ElBaradei's calls for reform in Egypt.
