Mujtahid reveals details on arrest of MBS to his brother

SANAA, May 12 (YPA) – Saudi activist and whistleblower Mujtahid has disclosed new differences in al-Saud family, adding that the country’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has detained several of his opponents, including his brother Bandar.

Bandar bin Salman was detained a while ago at the MbS’ order and transferred to a solitary confinement in a farm in al-Kharj region in the Southern parts of Riyadh, Mujtahid wrote on his Twitter page on Saturday.

He added that bin Salman’s mother who has recently been freed from house arrest is very sad about the issue but has not been able to do anything about it.

Mujtahid also said that the MbS’ attempts to return Sa’ad al-Jabri, the right-hand advisor of former Saudi interior minister Mohammed bin Nayef, who is in the US have failed so far and therefore, bin Salman has ordered his forces to detain two of Sa’ad’s brothers and threatened that other members of his family will also be arrested if he does not return home.

The Saudi crown prince has also pressured his nephew Khalid bin Talal not to exit from a hospital in which his son has been kept in a coma for years, he added.

According to Mujtahid, Sheikh Jamil al-Farsi is one of the prominent tribal leaders in Jeddah who has been kept under detention for over a year at the MbS’ order.

The Saudi whistleblower concluded that the crown prince who fears a coup in the interior ministry has separated the military sectors from the ministry and put them under the supervision of the defense ministry.

Arab media outlets had also reported in January that bin Salman had put his younger brother, Bandar, under house arrest.
