Committee to Protect Journalists demands Kuwait release American reporter Ahmed Shihab-Eldin

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) is demanding Kuwait release American-Kuwaiti journalist Ahmed Shihab-Eldin, detained under new security and misinformation laws. Shihab-Eldin faces vague charges including 'spreading false information' and 'harming national security,' with CPJ criticizing the case as part of a broader crackdown on press freedoms in the Middle East since the Iran war began.
