Kuwait has launched procedures to have Interpol add the name of Shia MP Abdul Hamid Dashti to its list of wanted people.

The move by Interpol came after the public prosecution gave its approval following the lifting of the lawmaker’s parliamentary immunity, Kuwaiti media reported on Monday.

Dashti is believed to be in London and he was able to leave Kuwait before the travel ban was announced by the Kuwaiti authorities.

The criminal court in July had in separate cases found him guilty of insulting Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, as well as the Kuwaiti public prosecutor.
