We need British, Canadian, German, French, China and Australia to sanction Saudi Arabia

Accurate, objective impartial information is necessary. If, guilty Saudi Arabia, must be treat without double standards in part, of America and all world countries. Injustice exercise, must not be allow to be without punishment.

So this is what Integrity look slike? Hard to see when a douchebag like Trump is President, and certainly won't stop doing HIS business with Saudis over this murder.....

Ohhhh shit. Buying Virgin Stocks!

THAT'S PROFILING!

North Korea was condemned for Malaysia assassination. What is difference between North Korea and this one?

The wheels of justice ... no wait, a rich dude got pissed off. Something might happen now. jimmy_dore miserablelib RonPlacone grahamelwood samtripoli RealTimBlack LeeCamp

Branson goes with wind 👋🏽, no sorry

SaudiArabia is compiling evidences on all fabricated stories and accusations against it on this member of outlawed Muslim Brotherhood movement by individuals, media or nations so as to sue them before pertinent courts! Watch out USA media members of Murdoch &friends media mafia

the international investment into SaudiArabia are dropping anyhow, So maybe its a time to make it a trend, and if u plan crazy drunk trip there, DO NOT! especially if u are a woman

If the last several years have showed us anything its that businesses are usually waiting for the first domino to fall in these political/moral stances before they jump aboard. Don't be surprised if he's just the first of many.

realDonaldTrump Wow there’s something you don’t see in America someone turning away making money over PRINCIPLES

This is how retarded our World is. You can be whatever you want, just not a freedom loving American. We have a “UN” that puts Saudi Arabia as the head of Human Rights when they behead Woman n Gays. 😂

Is this a long-term, strategic business decision, or is he just someone who has the utmost trust in the Erdogan regime's reporting of what may have happened, even when they have walked back their initial claims?

Wonder where he is getting his oil and fuel for his aircraft and trains from ? .words words words.

Richard Branson is awake.

That was an ethical and moral action...

Quite encouraging to hear that. But as a bussiness oreinted person, wouldn't this dicition have any effect on his company and its customers?

The nation Sweden and also its companies should finish their business completely (boycott) with islamistic countries like Saudia Arabia and Iran.

. realDonaldTrump what morals and values look like.

♥️

Even if Khashoggi was killed, government leaders may be willing to turn a blind eye to preserve trade ties and a delicate regional relationship.

Aoutch

And with that act, he’s done more than the American government.

'May have'?

Thank you mr Branson.

1/ Unlike Donald Trump who when when questiioned yesterday about the apparent murder and dismemberment of legal American resident alien and Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi said that

Good.

Bravo !

The Latest: Erdogan to speak, unclear if on KhashoggiISTANBUL (AP) — The Latest on the killing of Saudi writer Jamal Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist who vanished after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul earlier this month (all times local): 1:10 p.m. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is scheduled to speak at the opening of a stadium early Saturday afternoon, though it is unclear whether he will comment on Saudi Arabia's acknowledgement that Saudi writer Jamal Khashoggi was killed in its Istanbul consulate. Erdogan, who has promised a thorough investigation of Khashoggi's killing, is to make public remarks in the southeastern Turkish city of Diyarbakir. Turkish pro-government media had said for days that an official hit squad traveled from Saudi Arabia to kill Khashoggi, who vanished after entering the Saudi consulate on Oct. 2. That version differs from the account of Saudi Arabia, which said early Saturday that the Saudi journalist died in a 'fistfight.' Saudi Arabia says 18 Saudi suspects are in custody and that intelligence officials were fired. U.S. President Donald Trump says Saudi Arabia's announcement that suspects are in custody for Khashoggi's killing is a 'good first step,' though some U.S. lawmakers say Saudi Arabia's account isn't credible and seems designed to exonerate Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of any involvement. Erdogen? No one has imprisoned or disappeared more journalist. The whole investigation & Trumps acceptance of current reports are shocking but not surprising Turkey is at a crossroads: truth versus evil.

Richard Branson suspends $1 billion Virgin investment talks with Saudi Arabia over missing journalistThe journalist has not been seen since entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2. Turkish officials allege that Khashoggi was murdered and dismembered by agents of the Saudi government. He's probably just using that to back out of the deal. Of all the things they do, and that's the one that did it? 🙄 The Saudis are drone bombing hospitals in Yemen daily, glad he finally found a reason.

Saudi Arabia rejects US Senate's 'interference' in kingdomRIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Saudi Arabia says it rejects last week's U.S. Senate resolution that put the blame for the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi squarely on Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The statement from the kingdom is an unusually strong rebuke of the Senate. Saudi Arabia said the resolution 'contained blatant interferences' in its internal affairs and undermines its regional and international role. The kingdom has denied the crown prince was involved in Khashoggi's killing in October inside the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul, masterminded by top Saudi agents close to Prince Mohammed.
