He must’ve said something that threatened the people in power.

This is why it’s always acceptable to kill our rulers and their families. Look at how much they get away with killing us.

He must’ve said something that threatened the people in power.

If you’d taken a few seconds to open the article, that is explained in the opening sentence.

Here it is for the other lazy people:

Saudi authorities arrested al-Jasser in 2018 and seized his devices, believing that he was behind an X, then known as Twitter, account that documented allegations of corruption within the Saudi royal family

I mean how dare he speak out his opinion

Reading more about the story and I can’t imagine a way to spin this. Dude just sent some tweets covering corruption and women’s rights and got doxed by Twitter and jailed, tortured and now killed.

And this will be mostly ignored and nothing will happen. Thats some dystopia misery.
