A final message posted by Eden Knight, a popular online Saudi transgender woman, raised questions across the world.
Through access to private messages and a year-long investigation, the BBC has uncovered what happened in the final months before Eden Knight took her own life.
Eden’s final note, viewed by millions, said a lawyer in the US – where she had been trying to claim asylum – had persuaded her into returning home to a family and country that would not accept her identity.
The BBC World Service has identified this man as Bader Alomair, who has worked at the Saudi Arabian embassy in Washington DC, evidence suggests.
Mr Alomair has not responded to the allegations raised in the BBC’s investigation.
