Holy secrets of the Kingdom
Documents claimed to be from Saudi Arabia’s interior
and defence ministries were leaked on Twitter this week, purporting to reveal
details of surveillance tactics used to monitor citizens of the oil-rich Gulf
state.
The Monaseron account posted
on Sunday a raft of documents that appeared to have official seals and detailed cases of people under surveillance, lists
of individuals said to be members of the banned Muslim Brotherhood and citizens
who have travelled to Qatar in recent years.
Monaseron has over 90,000 Twitter followers and is an
account that advocates the release of political prisoners held in the
conservative al-Qassim province.
It said the “secret
intelligence apparatus has been infiltrated” but did not provide details of how
the documents were leaked.
