An Arab pro-democracy campaigner under government protection in Norway believes he is being targeted by Saudi Arabia for work he inherited from the murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Iyad al-Baghdadi said he was one of three activists warned by the CIA of threats from Riyadh after they took over digital projects begun by Khashoggi to combat account hacking and the hounding of critical voices on social media.
Khashoggi was murdered in October in the Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul. The CIA said it had “medium-to- high confidence” that the killing was ordered by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
Mr Baghdadi believes he was targeted, in particular, for helping to investigate the alleged hacking and blackmail of Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon and owner of The Washington Post.
Baghdadi is not s Saudi dissident. He’s a Palestinian who grew up in the UAE. He probably never set foot in Saudi.
As usual, it’s too much to expect that white people get their Arabs right.

“The reason President Trump covers for Kim Jong-un, Vladimir Putin, and Mohammad bin Salman's brutal human rights violations is because he dreams of creating a world in which he is just as unaccountable.”

I think McMullin is reading this wrong. Trump already is unaccountable.
