Kuwait Introduces Mandatory DNA Testing For All Citizens And Local Based Expatriates

All citizens in Kuwait will be legally required to give a DNA sample to the country’s police force in an attempt to make it easier for security services to solve crimes in the country.
The new law, passed through by the Kuwaiti parliament, also includes expatriates living in the small Gulf State.
Anyone who refuses to give a DNA sample could face a year in prison and a hefty fine of as much as $33,000.
Any false samples could also lead to the perpetrator being sentenced for up to seven years in jail.
The new law for compulsory DNA samples appears to have come after 26 people were killed in a suicide bomber attack at a Shi’a mosque in Kuwait City
