KUWAIT: The interior ministry's relations and security information department denied reports circulated on social media and claiming that a central prison inmate had went on a hunger strike. The department said that the ministry did not receive any complaint from any inmate at the central prison, and that the general health condition of the inmate mentioned in the allegations is good. As for the claim that the inmate is not receiving his medicine, it said this is a lie, as banning or dispensing medicines is not part of the prison department's authorities.
