"Radio Canada International" mentioned that eight Saudi dissidents in Canada and Britain asked the Canadian Ministry of Immigration to reject any asylum request submitted by former Saudi intelligence official Saad Al-Jabri, describing it as a criminal, in reference to the responsibility it holds for many years within the Ministry of Interior and the intelligence apparatus in the Kingdom.

And the radio website, which is funded by the Canadian authorities, quoted the Saudi opposition residing in Canada, Raja Al-Idrisi, that Saad Al-Jabri - who was close to the former Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Nayef - "masterminded the repression of dozens of Saudi dissidents while he was in the Ministry of Interior, and before the arrival of Muhammad bin Salman to power much.

The migration of opponents
Al-Idrisi added to the Canadian website that Al-Jabri was the reason behind the departure of many opponents from the kingdom, and said that his presence in Canada "scares the Saudi opponents who sought asylum in this country."

Radio Canada International reported that the Saudi opponents sent to the Canadian Ministry of Immigration that they condemn the arrest of the Saudi authorities and my son (Omar and Sarah), but they refuse to consider al-Jabri as "a victim or a political opponent."

Saudi opponents are preparing to direct their case against al-Jabri to the United Nations Human Rights Council, and have called "every person who has been a victim of his crimes to be prosecuted in Canada."

In response to a question on the radio, the Immigration and Refugee Council - which is an independent administrative court in Canada - said that there are reasons that may justify the refusal of the asylum application, including that the owner has "held a high position in a government that has undertaken or - from the Canadian authorities' point of view - serious violations or Human Rights ".

Call for trial
The opposition, Raja Al-Idrisi, was among seven Saudi personalities who signed an electronic petition at the end of last month calling for Al-Jabri's trial, and those figures justified its call that the former official in Saudi intelligence was "during two decades the engineer of government terrorism under Muhammad bin Nayef."

The petition called on Saudi and Arab international human rights organizations not to consider Saad al-Jabri as a victim of Muhammad bin Salman, "but as a criminal who contributed to placing thousands of detainees inside prisons, even before Muhammad bin Salman came to the top of the pyramid of authority."

Al-Jabri has lived in Canada since 2017, has held the position of Minister of State, was one of the senior officers in the Saudi Interior, an expert in artificial intelligence, and played key roles in the kingdom's battle against al-Qaeda and its security coordination with the United States.

The reason for his dismissal
and Saudi television announced in late 2015 the news of al-Jabri's dismissal from his job, according to the Washington Post, if his dismissal came after he met former US intelligence chief John Brennan in September 2015 in Washington, without the knowledge of Muhammad bin Salman.

So, after al-Jabri returned from the Saudi capital, a royal decree was issued to remove him, and after that somehow he was able to travel to the United States, and he was there when it announced the dismissal of Muhammad bin Nayef from the mandate of Al-Ahd.

However, he did not feel safe in America under the administration of President Donald Trump for fear of being handed over to the Saudi Crown Prince, so he left it in 2017 to Canada, and this is what made some experts - according to Anatolia Agency - point out that Al-Jabri's ghost may have been in the background of the diplomatic crisis that It erupted between Saudi Arabia and Canada in August 2018.
