GENEVA - Saudi Arabia’s secretive hearings for 11 suspects accused in the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi violate international law and should be open to the public and trial observers, a U.N. human rights expert said on Thursday.
She called on Saudi authorities to reveal the defendants’ names, the charges and the fate of 10 others initially arrested. The U.N. human rights office and International Bar Association have requested access to the court, she added. Saud al-Qahtani, a top aide to Prince Mohammed fired over the killing, is not among the 11 suspects on trial at hearings in Riyadh despite Saudi pledges to bring those responsible to justice, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters on Sunday.

The U.S. has a problem in Saudi Arabia, and it’s still not being fixedAlmost six months after Jamal Khashoggi was murdered, the man who appears to have ordered his killing is President Trump’s closest ally in the Arab world.
