HuffPost is deeply alarmed by the news of Ahmed Shihab-Eldin’s detention and the indications that he is being held under Kuwait’s stifling new security laws for acts of journalism. Ahmed spent two years at HuffPost as a pioneering host and producer of HuffPost Live. He impressed colleagues and viewers alike with his compassion, determination and pursuit of the truth. Ahmed’s detention is greatly concerning. HuffPost calls on Kuwaiti authorities to release him immediately.
