A BBC reporter and film crew has gained rare access inside Riyadh’s “gilded cage” – the Ritz-Carlton which became a luxury prison after a dozen or more princes were detained during the shocking events which began with Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman’s (MbS) internal purge on November 4th.

BBC’s tour was “facilitated” under highly controlled and coordinated conditions, as initial photographs and short cell phone videos produced during the first few days of the crackdown revealed harsher and more restricted conditions as princes and/or their staff were forced to sleep on the floor camp-style in the middle of the luxury hotel’s lobby.

According to the new BBC broadcast from inside the Ritz-Carlton, the princes are desperately scrambling to cut deals through their lawyers in order to secure release, this as new unconfirmed reports of torture have emerged:

When people were brought here around midnight on November 4th they were understandably angry. Some of them thought it would just be a show and it wouldn’t last. And then when they realized they were here to stay they were furious. Almost everyone here – 95% I was told – are willing to make a deal, to give back what are said to be substantial sums of money in order to get out of here.
