Kuwait information minister resigns
(Reuters) 2 January 2005

KUWAIT - Kuwait’s Information Minister Mohammad Abulhasan, who is due to face public questioning in parliament, resigned on Sunday, the state news agency KUNA said.
Abulhasan handed in his resignation to Prime Minister
Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah, KUNA said without giving details.
Abulhasan was scheduled to be questioned on Monday by some Islamist MPs over several allegations including negligence of social values after he approved music concerts in the Gulf Arab state, seen by Islamists as violating sharia law.
Another win to the Islamists. No parties on New Years eve - soon to be no parties full-stop.
