Newly released transcripts provide insight into the final moments of Saudi dissident and Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi before he was killed by Saudi agents inside the kingdom's consulate in Istanbul, Turkey.
The reported transcribed conversations show the 15-member team of Saudi officials discussing what to do with Khashoggi's body before he arrived at the consulate, seeking paperwork for his upcoming marriage to his fiancée Hatice Cengiz. It's unclear how Turkey was able to record the events in the Saudi consulate as they unfolded.
Dr. Salah Muhammed Tubaigy, who served as forensic chief at the Saudi General Security Department, responded,"No. Too heavy, very tall too." In another portion of the transcript, after Khashoggi arrived, he was told to send his son a text message. Mutreb told him to"write something like 'I'm in Istanbul. Don't worry if you cannot reach me.'""Write it, Mr. Jamal. Hurry up. Help us so we can help you, because in the end we will take you back to Saudi Arabia and if you don't help us you know what will happen eventually," Mutreb fired back.
Saudi Arabia blasted the report as based on"many unfounded accusations" and questioned"the impartiality and lack of objectivity of the report" and its author, U.N. Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions Agnès Callamard.
