KUWAIT: The interior ministry also denied a press report claiming that there are jamming devices with health risks for inmates at the Central Jail. “This (claim) is utterly untrue,” the public relations and security media department said.

It added that no prohibited devices that could have adverse health effects have been used.

According to the statement, correctional institutions include officers and civilians, men and women, working there, and it is against logic to expose them to any health hazards.

It urged the media to verify such news and uphold public interests which are on top of all priorities.
