"Why the mukhabarat had come to raid his family’s upscale home was a mystery to him.
The mukhabarat eventually accused Al-Ash of posting critical remarks about the king’s policies on a jihadi website, something Al-Ash steadfastly denies. Defaming or slandering the royals here is a crime, but without a copy of the post in question, it was his word against a single agent." (thanks Ali)
