Watan-The name of the Saudi journalist and dissident Jamal Khashoggi returned to prominence in the United States Senate after years since his assassination. He was killed by Saudi intelligence under the orders of Mohammed bin Salman inside his country’s consulate in Istanbul in 2018, where his body was dismembered with a bone saw.<\/p>\n
Khashoggi, who had previously worked at the Saudi embassy in Washington, was an active critic of the “repression campaign” carried out by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, which involved the arrest of citizens demanding more freedom of expression and democratic reforms.<\/p>\n
In 2018, Khashoggi<\/a> was warned not to return to his country, and he settled in northern Virginia, where he was previously married and had children. Later, the Saudi journalist moved to Turkey, and when he visited the Saudi consulate in Istanbul to obtain a document, he was brutally assassinated.<\/p>\n Upon entering the consulate building, Khashoggi was killed by a team of 12 individuals, and his body was dismembered with a bone saw.<\/p>\n “Would the government of India have dared to target individuals in Canada and the United States if the brutal murder of Jamal Khashoggi had been met with more forceful accountability measures for each and every Saudi official involved in his death?” \u2014 \u0639\u0628\u062f\u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0648\u062f\u0629 (@aalodah) January 18, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
