The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have warned a prominent Saudi dissident living in exile to take precautions because he may become a “potential target” of the Saudi kingdom. Omar Abdulaziz is a 29-year-old video blogger and activist living in Montreal who has publicly criticized Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Abdulaziz said, “They want to do something, but I don’t know whether it’s assassination [or] kidnapping.” He was in regular contact with Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the time of his assassination by the Saudis in Turkey two years ago.
