Saudi Officials Murdered Khashoggi Through Proper Planning: UN HR Expert

WASHINGTON: According to Special Rapporteur at the United Nations for Human Rights, Agnes Callamard, the murder of Saudi Arabian journalist Jamal Khashoggi was planned by the Saudi officials.

As per details, Agnes Callamard is writing a report on Khashoggi’s death which will be presented to the Human Rights Council in the month of June.

Jamal Khashoggi, who was also famous for being a critic of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, was last seen alive when he entered the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on 2 October 2018.

Initial findings have said it was almost two weeks before Turkish authorities were allowed to enter the consulate and have placed the blame on the Saudi state.

Agnes Callamard was unable to examine the Saudi consulate where Mr Khashoggi was killed despite requesting access to the crime scene, prompting Turkish officials to add pressure on Riyadh.

She said the killing violated both international law and core rules of international relations, including the requirements for the lawful use of diplomatic missions.
