Sons of murdered Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi say they 'forgive' killers of their father, in a move that could effectively grant clemency to five convicted people on death row
Khashoggi was last seen at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2, 2018, where he had gone to obtain documents for his impending wedding. His body was reportedly dismembered and removed from the building, and his remains have not been found.
The murder caused a global uproar, tarnishing Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's image. Some Western governments, as well as the CIA, said they believed he had ordered the killing. Saudi officials say he had no role, though in September 2019 MBS indicated some personal accountability, saying "it happened under my watch".
Saudi Arabia sentenced five people to death and three to jail over the murder of Khashoggi last December.The trials were condemned by the United Nations and rights groups. UN special rapporteur for extrajudicial summary or arbitrary executions, Agnes Callamard, accused Saudi Arabia of making a "mockery" of justice by allowing the masterminds of the 2018 killing to go free.
However, Salah Khashoggi said of the December verdict that "it has been fair to us and that justice has been achieved."
