United Nations finds ‘credible evidence’ to investigate Saudi Crown Prince in Khashoggi killing

The UN report bu Agnes Callamard, seen here, called on the international community to impose tougher sanctions on Saudi officials – including Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.Pressure is mounting on Canada and the United States to hold Saudi Arabia accountable for the murder of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the wake of a United Nations report that offers one of the most comprehensive accounts yet of his killing.

Mr. Khashoggi, a Saudi exile in the United States who wrote op-eds critical of Mr. bin Salman for the Washington Post, was killed by a group of Saudi agents in that country’s consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2 of last year. His body has not been found. Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland endorsed Ms. Callamard’s demand for a criminal probe but stopped short of backing further sanctions.

Canada, the United States and other countries have imposed sanctions on the agents believed to have killed Mr. Khashoggi. U.S. President Donald Trump has often seemed indifferent to the Khashoggi case, and has suggested that Saudi Arabia is too valuable an American ally in the Middle East to punish. Shortly after 1 p.m. on Oct. 2, a recording in the consulate picked up Maher Abdulaziz Mutreb, an intelligence officer, and Dr. Salah Mohammed Tubaigy, the autopsy expert, appearing to discuss the logistics of the murder.

Shouldn’t this has been done 6 months ago?!

Let's do this ! He is definitely guilty
