Bin Damakh, a Saudi journalist and poet, was reported missing in September 2017, just days before he was set to launch a TV news channel named “The Arabian Peninsula” in Kuwait. The channel aimed to restore Arab confidence in politicized television news and address issues such as poverty, unemployment, and the misdirection of Arab youth. Prior to his disappearance, Kuwaiti authorities had raided the channel’s headquarters, confiscating broadcasting equipment on the grounds that it was operating without a license. Bin Damakh was subsequently arrested in Kuwait and deported to Saudi Arabia.
