Entering the Kuwaiti parliament by Mubarak El Hakan

The protesters along with activists and supporters from opposition members in the parliament including Islamists are having a sit in at a space called El Erda now. The protesters are demanding the dissolution of the parliament and the resignation of the prime minister. The protesters are demanding the Amir of Kuwait to use his powers to dissolve the parliament because it is corrupted just as the current cabinet if I understand correctly.

I do not know the exact number of protesters as it is unclear as some speaks about dozens while others speaks about tens to hundreds.
There are security forces as well as special forces. The protesters are urged not to attack the forces and keep it peaceful.
Already there is extremely active hashtag from Kuwait called #Erda if you are interested in following what is taking place tonight in the city of Kuwait. Interestingly enough the protesters are badly attacked on twitter by other Kuwaitis who consider them as attackers and saboteurs and even agents of foreign countries.
There was a crack down on freedoms in Kuwaiti lately , two bloggers were imprisoned for criticizing the ruling family there on twitter !! There are a  lot of rumors speaking about martial laws coming in the way in Kuwait and the resignation of the minister of health there.

It turned out that the Security forces attacked the protester after the storming of the parliament, the peaceful unarmed protesters who in return chanted “Leave , leave” to the forces. Here is a video captured from some Kuwaiti channel.
