    Kuwait stripped Shia activist Yasser al-Habeeb of his citizenship on Monday, accusing him of abusing religious symbols and attempting to trigger sectarian tension.

    The cabinet made the decision at the recommendation of Interior Minister Sheikh Jaber Khaled al-Sabah, said a government statement that added Habeeb was also convicted of undermining Kuwait's national interests and social system.

    He lost his citizenship based on a law that allows authorities to cancel the nationality of naturalized Kuwaitis if they commit certain crimes.
    The cabinet ordered authorities to take all the necessary measures to bring Habeeb, who has been living in self-imposed exile in London since 2004, to court for crimes he committed.

    More than two weeks ago, Habeeb made disparaging remarks against Prophet Mohammed's wife Aisha, triggering a sectarian rift between Sunni and Shia Muslims that prompted the government to ban all public gatherings on Sunday
