Bidoon men (stateless Arabs) protest out

Bidoon men (stateless Arabs) protest outside Kuwait's parliament demanding a formation of a committee for bidoon affairs in Kuwait City on October 28, 2008. The Kuwaiti government has granted during the past six years citizenship to around 2,000 bidoon, whose number in the Gulf emirate ranges between 70,000 according to a government count and 100,000 according to rights activists, but it insists that stateless who cannot prove that they or their forefathers lived in Kuwait in 1965 have no right to apply for nationality. Sign reads in Arabic 'Humanity bleeds misery, so who could stop the bleeding'. AFP PHOTO/YASSER AL-ZAYYAT (Photo credit should read YASSER AL-ZAYYAT/AFP via Getty Images)
