Saudi Arabia is responsible for Khashoggi murder

MojNews- UN special rapporteur on extrajudicial executions said Friday that Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi died "as a result of an extrajudicial killing for which the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is responsible".

In her article -- titled MBS [Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ] can’t take ‘responsibility’ for Khashoggi’s murder and also blame his minions -- published on The Washington Post, Agnes Callamard said that her six-month investigation showed that claims by the Saudi authorities that a "rogue operation" killed Khashoggi "are not borne out by the evidence".

Khashoggi, a Saudi national and a columnist for The Washington Post, was killed and later his body was dismembered by a group of Saudi operatives in October ۲۰۱۸, shortly after he entered the consulate in Istanbul, to get a marriage certificate.

After weeks of denying involvement, Saudi Arabia admitted that Khashoggi had been killed at the consulate, but claimed that the royal family had no prior knowledge of a plot to murder him.
