Asylum or No?

This is interesting:

Saudi Diplomat Seeking Asylum: ‘My life is in danger’

The question is, since this man was a spokesman for a regime that has proven itself to be cruel and barbaric for many years, does he deserve to be given asylum? He was part of the government. He was an apologist for the government. His job was to excuse barbaric acts perpetrated by his government. Now that he's been outed as a homosexual and a close friend of a Jewish woman (gasp!) by the government that he represented, he feels danger.

Is there a reason that he should not be sent back to the desert kingdom to face the music he helped to compose?
