Egypt’s Minister of Manpower Mohamed Saafan stressed, on Thursday, that his ministry is following the case of an Egyptian citizen who have been stabbed in Kuwait.

All necessary support and assistance has been provided to Emile Mahanna, the Minister said, asserting that Kuwait is a country of laws. 

Mahanna is an Egyptian worker in Kuwait. He has been tasked to install curtains in a tent that belongs to a Kuwaiti citizen called Abdel Aziz Mohamed el-Barweishy two months ago. After the job was done, the Kuwaiti citizen asked for amendments, but the Egyptian worker rejected because he did not receive his fees.

Later, el-Barweishy assaulted Mahanna outside the latter’s workplace. 

Mahanna was transferred to the Farwaniya hospital, where he underwent an operation. He is expected to leave the hospital on Thursday evening after conducting necessary medical examinations. A police report was filed about the incident.
