inp.polri.go.id - Saudi Arabia's political dissident, Manea al-Yami, was mysteriously murdered in Lebanon, his country of exile. The group founded by Saudi dissidents in exile, the National Assembly Party (NAAS), received reports of Yami's death on Sunday (10/7).
"[Yami] was mysteriously murdered," NAAS said in a statement.
They also called for a "transparent, clear and fair investigation" into the alleged murder. They hold the Saudis responsible for failing to protect its citizens seeking freedom abroad.
Lebanon's internal security forces confirmed that a 42-year-old Saudi national was stabbed to death by his brother during a family dispute on Saturday (9/7).
They claimed to have detained the two victims' relatives on Sunday. According to Lebanese officials, the two brothers acknowledged their actions.
Security forces did not reveal the victim's name, however, a Lebanese security source confirmed to Reuters that the victim was Yami.
Meanwhile, there has been no direct comment from the Saudi government regarding the mysterious death of this opposition figure.
Yami is a member of Saudi's Shia minority, the Ismaili Muslim. He has lived in Lebanon since 2015, while waiting for a safe passage to a third country.
On the sidelines of his wait, he has contributed in establishing NAAS in 2020. The group advocates for the Saudi parliament, while also oversees the constitution to ensure a clear separation between the legislature, judiciary and executive.
