Says execution of the dissident journalist was the responsibility of the state of Saudi Arabia
There is “credible evidence” linking Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) to the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a UN expert said on Wednesday, calling for sanctions on the Prince’s foreign assets.
The allegation regarding Prince Mohammed’s possible direct role in Khashoggi’s execution was detailed in a new report by the UN special rapporteur on extra-judicial, summary or arbitrary executions, Agnes Callamard.
Ms. Callamard, an independent human rights expert who does not speak for the United Nations, called on UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres to initiate a formal international criminal investigation into the case.
She told reporters it was clear “the execution of Mr. Khashoggi was the responsibility of the state of Saudi Arabia”.
