The reputation of Saudi Arabia's hard-line Islamic laws was damaged after the death of journalist and critic of the royal family, Mohammed bin Laden, in 2011. The Saudi Arabian journalist was killed and dismembered in Istanbul on October 2, 2018, after he went to retrieve papers for a wedding. The investigations have found that the killing was carried out by someone, but he told The Atlantic that he was not involved in the killing and that it was not professional enough. Intelligence linking him to the killing hurt him and hurt Saudi Arabia, after he was hailed for earlier reforms such as legalized concerts and granting women the right to drive. Over the past few years, he has faced criticism for escalating a civil war in Yemen and jailing many dissidents in Saudi Arabia.
