NOURNEWS - The young and crude Saudi Crown Prince, who has been taking advantage of his father's old age for several years, has virtually taken over all power in Saudi Arabia, Over the past five years, the dirtiest forms of absolute tyranny have drawn new boundaries for this form of government.
During these years, in addition to pursuing hostile and irrational policies in the field of foreign policy, which have caused great damage to the region of Southwest Asia, Bin Salman in the field of domestic politics has eliminated a wide range of opponents from the power cycle.
Full support of terrorist-takfiri groups, particularly ISIS, and military aggression against its neighbors, especially in Yemen, in the area of hardship and the expansion of destructive virtual activities in the media and social networks, has made a tainted record for this young Saudi man who longs for the kingdom of the Arabian Peninsula.
Although the West is trying to create a cover for its absolute tyranny by pursuing so-called reformist policies based on Western-dictated teachings, Bin Salman is so passionate about ruling the Saudi regime that he has adopted irrational and totalitarian policies. Not only he won't be able to control the popular protests, but he will not even be able to manage the Al-Saud family.
The report lists the sinister fate of the Muslim opposition, including princes, officials, and political, religious, social, and economic activists:
- Detainees
1. Prince "Muhammad bin Sa'd bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud", 75 years old, who is the son of the late brother of King Salman and a member of the Allegiance Council, and is responsible for determining the succession to the Saudi throne.
2. Prince "Mohammed bin Nayef", 60, is a former Crown Prince, interior minister and nephew of King Salman. According to reports, Nayef has been under house arrest since 2017 after being deprived of his ministry title and role.
3. Prince "Ahmad bin Abdul Aziz", 77, is the younger brother of King Salman and the son of Abdul Aziz, the founder and first ruler of Saudi Arabia. He returned to Saudi Arabia in late 2018 with the goal of preventing his nephew from ascending the throne using the Allegiance Council, which the MI6 and the CIA had assured him that he would not be arrested.
4. "Nayef bin Ahmad", the son of Prince Ahmad
5. "Mansour Al-Shaloub", the director of Prince Ahmad's private office
- People who have been interrogated and released:
1. Saud bin Nayef, 63, is the older brother of Mohammad bin Nayef, the governor of the eastern province and a member of the Allegiance Council, who was arrested in March 2020 for answering several questions and later released. Saud bin Nayef is also the father of the current Saudi interior minister.
- Previous arrests:
Of course, Ben Salman's biggest cleansing comes in November 2017, when officials, personalities and businessmen were arrested at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Riyadh.
1. Prince Mutab bin Abdullah, 67, son of King Abdullah and former head of the National Guard. He was released a month later on more than $ 1 billion in bribes. However, it is not clear whether he was actually released or sent on a forced trip!
2. Prince Walid bin Talal, 65, is one of the richest men in the world and the head of the Royal Holding Company. He was released in January 2018 after reaching a kind of financial agreement with the Saudi Attorney General.
3. Dozens of former officials and businessmen were humiliated and later released, including Khalid al-Tawijari, the former head of the Saudi royal court, Amr al-Dabbagh, the chief executive of the al-Dabbagh group, and the former head of Saudi Arabia's public investment department, Mohammed Hussein al-Amoudi, a dual Saudi and Ethiopian citizen and one of Ethiopia's most important investors, Dr. Walid Fithihi, a popular reformist and TV presenter, and Hani Khaja, a former McKinsey adviser.
- Exiles
1. Saad al-Jabri, a former intelligence official and senior adviser to Muhammad bin Nayef during his tenure at the Interior Ministry. Al-Jabri was ousted in 2015 after a power struggle between bin Nayef and bin Salman. He fled Saudi Arabia in 2017, shortly before the ouster of his former boss, and was placed under house arrest and later sought refuge in Canada.
- The ones who were killed
1. "Jamal Khashoggi", a journalist who opposed Mohammad bin Muslim's approach to his actions, especially in matters such as military aggression against Yemen, and later settled in London after fleeing the country. He was eventually brutally murdered at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
2. Prince Mansour bin Makrin, the deputy governor of Asir province and the son of a former crown prince who was killed in a helicopter crash near the Saudi-Yemeni border in November 2017 while trying to escape from Saudi Arabia. Many suspect this as a deliberate crash.
3. Sheikh Suleiman Abdul Rahman Al-Thanunian, President and Judge of the General Court of Mecca, who was killed by an injection in October 2018 in a hospital in Riyadh. The judge sent a letter to Mohammed bin Muslim, who opposed his economic view for 2030.
- The wave of arrests of religious & social activists
1. In September 2017, religious scholars such as "Sheikh Salman Al-Awda", "Awad Al-Qarni" and "Ali Al-Omari" were arrested and finally, along with more than 60 others, were placed behind bars.
2. During 2018, more than a dozen women's rights activists, including Lujin al-Hathwa, Aman al-Nafjan, and Aziz al-Youssef, were arrested and detained, some of whom have been temporarily released and others are still in prison.
Of course, these include the arrest of then-Lebanese Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri during his visit to Saudi Arabia, which violated all protocols and formalities of relations between the two countries. Hariri, on the other hand, was not even opposed to Bin-Salman and had only disagreed with him on one issue.
