Riyadh’s secretive hearings for 11 suspects in Khashoggi murder fall short of international standards, should be open to the public – UN human rights expert
Saudi critic and journalist Jamal Khashoggi was brutally murdered at Saudi Arabia's consulate in Istanbul on October 2, 2018.
Agnes Callamard, UN special rapporteur on extrajudicial executions, who leads an international inquiry into the murder at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul last October, called on the kingdom to reveal the defendants' names and the fate of 10 others initially arrested. The Saudi public prosecutor indicted 11 unnamed suspects in November, including five who could face the death penalty on charges of ordering and committing the crime.
