Know Your Rights Around Kuwait (English Version)

After I posted about the law firm in Kuwait that posts on instagram videos of legal issues you might face and how to defend yourself I got a ton of people asking me for an English version. Unfortunately they don’t do English videos (as of yet) so I decided to translate the videos myself.

Keep in mind they aren’t translated word-for-word but rather the summary of the legal situation the video addresses.

Keep visiting this page for more videos as I update the post between time.
