A UN rights expert has found that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and other Saudi officials should be investigated over the death of JamalKhashoggi.
Geneva - Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and other senior Saudi officials should be investigated over the killing of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a UN rights expert has concluded on Wednesday, citing "credible evidence."
"At a bare minimum, [the] Crown Prince condoned this behavior and allowed the repetition and escalation of these crimes," Callamard wrote about the royal who is seen as the de-facto ruler of his country. Callamard said every expert she consulted for her report said that Prince Mohammed must at least have been aware of the Khashoggi operation, as it required significant government coordination and resources.
Callamard said that countries should claim universal jurisdiction in this case, meaning that suspects could be prosecuted and tried outside Turkey or Saudi Arabia. Callamard concluded that neither Saudi Arabia nor Turkey has followed up the case in line with international standards so far.
