Col Rabih Alenezi says he was ordered to evict villagers from a tribe in the Gulf state to make way for The Line, part of the Neom eco-project.
One of them was subsequently shot and killed for protesting against eviction.
The Saudi government and Neom management refused to comment.
Neom, Saudi Arabia’s $500bn (£399bn) eco-region, is part of its Saudi Vision 2030 strategy which aims to diversify the kingdom’s economy away from oil.
Its flagship project, The Line, has been pitched as a car-free city, just 200m (656ft) wide and 170km (106 miles) long - though only 2.4km of the project is reportedly expected to be completed by 2030.

How long before tankies start protesting the Saudi colonialism?
Oh, they won’t? Okay.
Liberals will never protest the murder of brown people
Both tankies and liberals would object to being conflated with each other.
Explain the difference between a liberal and a tankie.
hint; they’re the same.
Please don‘t call it an eco-region just because these eco wrecking saudis do.
You’re saying creating a 100 mile long barrier with a mirrored surface that cooks everything around it and prevents wild life from reaching the sea isn’t creating an eco-region?
