On October 2, 2018, Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, an outspoken critic of the Saudi monarchy, was murdered in Istanbul. According to the CIA, this assassination was ordered by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, which sparked widespread international outrage.
Eight years after this killing, Jamal Khashoggi’s relatives gathered in Washington to denounce the continued impunity enjoyed by Mohammed bin Salman. They also criticize his rehabilitation within Western diplomatic circles, which they consider unacceptable given the facts.
