Picture: REUTERS/OSMAN ORSALTwenty Saudi suspects, including two former aides to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, went on trial in absentia in Turkey on Friday, accused of killing and dismembering journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018.
They are 18 other suspects — including intelligence operative Maher Mutreb who frequently travelled with the crown prince on foreign tours; forensic expert Salah al-Tubaigy; and Fahad al-Balawi, a member of the Saudi royal guard — were charged with “deliberately and monstrously killing, causing torment”.Cengiz, who is a complainant in the case, was attending the trial alongside the UN special rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, Agnès Callamard.
Khashoggi was killed and dismembered in the Saudi consulate in a case that tarnished the reputation of the crown prince despite his strenuous denial of any involvement.Saudi Arabia describes the murder as a “rogue” operation but both the CIA and Callamard have directly linked the crown prince, the de facto ruler and heir to the Saudi throne, to the killing.
