Kuwait's emir issued two decrees on Saturday granting pardons and reduced sentences to 35 people.
Emir Sheikh Nawaf al-Ahmad al-Sabah paved the way in October for an amnesty for politicians and former MPs, which the opposition has made a condition to end a political impasse holding up planned fiscal reforms in the wealthy Gulf state.
Kuwait's government on Monday submitted its resignation to the emir, as authorities work to ease differences with the parliament.
The emir has yet to accept or reject the cabinet's resignation.
