File: The Committee to Protect Journalists and other press freedom activists hold a candlelight vigil in front of the Saudi Embassy to mark the anniversary of the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the kingdom's consulate in Istanbul, Wednesday evening in Washington, U.S., October 2, 2019.
State media reported that five people were handed 20-year prison sentences, one person was sentenced to 10 years and two people were handed seven-year sentences for the killing.After the ruling, Khashoggi's fiancee said the eight jailed were not the only ones responsible for the murder. Saudi officials denied he played a role, though in September 2019 the prince indicated some personal accountability, saying"it happened under my watch".
But Agnes Callamard, the U.N. special rapporteur for extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions accused Saudi Arabia of making a"mockery of justice" by not punishing more senior officials who, she said, were behind the murder.
