What happened to Sheikh Shuraim? (Or what I believe happened) (Serious)

Question

He was around for a super long time, from 1991 till 2022, so 32 years, and then he jsut disappeared one day.

He used to recite all the time in masjid al haram, and now isn’t even mentioned by prominent figures like Sheikh Sudais, or the other Sheikhs that were the OGs of the Haram.

I read somewhere a while ago that he got arrested or that he was forced to resign because of his sharp political views on Islamic related issues, and the westernisation of Saudi Arabia, but I don’t know how those rumors are.

There was one video of him from a while ago where he was seen with a broken arm, and a lot of people believed he got beaten by MBS Saudi security team criticising the government, because he got his twitter account shut down in 2018 for inciting hate against the Saudi government, so there could be a link.

And then after the 2018 drama, all the Sheikhs socials were taken down, Sudais, Juhanny, Dossari, Muaqali…all their accounts were shut down and the only thing that remains are fan accounts.
