Not only did [Saudi authorities] kill Abdul Rahim al-Huwaiti... they are hoping to pull off a major publicity stunt by getting prominent figures among the Huwaitat to publicly disown Abdul Rahim and “renew their allegiance” to the king...

the Tabuk emirate (regional authority) invited a number of the Huwaitat to a meeting to discuss the matter.. [those who did] were promised SR100,000 (US$27,000) each, and SR300,000 (US$80,000)... to take part in a propaganda exercise involving a public celebration at which they formally disown Abdul Rahim and members of the tribe resisting eviction.
