Kuwait police disperse rally

Kuwait police used batons to disperse protesters chanting slogans against the prime minister on Wednesday, injuring an opposition MP, as a group of Kuwaitis wanted for storming the parliament last week turned themselves in, witnesses said.

A prosecutor had ordered the arrest of 45 people after protesters, including opposition lawmakers, forced their way into parliament last week as hundreds rallied outside, demanding that Prime Minister Sheikh Nasser al-Mohammad al-Sabah step down over corruption accusations, which he denies.
