Eight defendants in journalist Jamal Khashoggi's murder have been sentenced in Saudi Arabia. A UN official calls the outcome a 'parody of justice.'

Saudi Arabia has issued"final verdicts" against eight suspects in the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi in October 2018 -- sentencing five of the defendants to 20 years in prison -- the state-run Saudi Press Agency has reported, citing a public prosecutor spokesman.

One defendant was handed a sentence of 10 years and the two others face seven years in prison, SPA reported on Monday.The verdicts come after Khashoggi's family"pardoned" five of the suspects in May, thereby sparing them the death penalty, CNN previously reported.Agnes Callamard, the UN Special Rapporteur for Extrajudicial Killings who lead an independent investigation into the murder, called the verdicts a"parody of justice" on Monday.

Reprehensible miscarriage of justice .

That is one ugly dude

Was the main suspect also sentenced?

Breaking News from CNN amounts to another “unknown source” found in an alley with a story for sale. Does anybody at CNN have a name ? Names have been withheld to protect the guilty.

We'll continue working to highlight racism and corruption and xenophobia, inspired by the great investigative journalism of Jamal Khashoggi. His murderers - the Royal Family - will never escape justice. washingtonpost Khashogg Saudi_Gazette JamalKhashoggi pressfreedom

O really 😳 Fake 🌎 covid 🤢 🌎 🤢

What matters is what the family of Khashoggi says not what your UN official says.

Well trumps friends never get charged

Donald Trump: “The Ugly [13-cent] American” “… At the end, only two 13-cent checks were signed—and we couldn’t believe our good fortune. One was signed by arms trader Adnan Khashoggi. The other was deposited by Donald Trump.”—Graydon Carter, “Vanity Fair”

it's ridiculous

✊🏽🔥🔥🔥

Is Travis Scott/ Cactus Jack x McDonald’s Collaboration a Scam?

Parody is the right Word!

Got everyone but the “big cheese”

The murderers won’t serve a month in prison. IMO the sentences were just for show & nothing more

One journalist down, riddance and good start.

Achieving justice for all was the goal of the Saudi judiciary, and this a message for everyone that no one is above the law whatever his name. fair Saudi law ✅❤️

Trump owns this as he bow to mbs

For sake if argument lets say this was what you claim, why is the usa only focusing on this and letting thousands of same cases across the globe and even worst like border line massacres go by like they don’t exist?!

If a UN official calls the verdict a parody, then I’m satisfied it was fair.

When the Mob that ordered the hit is also in charge of prosecution of the hit men. Laughable

How about tossing in the ring leader Prince ?!!! 😡

Taking one for the crown prince

Fucking COVER UP. FROM START 2 END as Is so far. He was MURDERED BECAUSE HE KNEW TOO MUCH PROBABLY ABOUT THE WHEREABOUTS OF BIN LADEN BURIED ALIVE, in secret facility. Well the Muslim Brotherhood will Be well aware of what Khashoggi knew. And was going to release Publicly.

Why have those at the top who issued the order to murder Khashoggi escaped justice?

What about the Saudi Prince?

Who is the UN OFFICIAL ? OK ,that one with KNOWN ties to Qatar, Turkey and the Muslim Brotherhood?

Why would Trump comment on a murder on the other side of the planet? Simply because he is a reporter?

Google BillClinton Epestin and tell me how many CNN articles you see

How is this any different than the American judicial system? How many GOP and TheDemocrats like BillClinton went to Epestins PedoIsland yet because their position y'all refuse to cover it?

8 scapegoats.

Khashoggi had it coming. He thought he could talk shit about the Royal family from U.S. land and get away with it. He got caught 'slipping' in Turkey and paid with his life.

Ridiculous!

Odd are those same defendants will disappear and re-emerge in the Saudi intelligence service

only the small character got caught, where is the boss? Shouldn't they be on trial too?

Law and order dispensed by another of Trump's crooked buddies.

Oops, missed one.

The UN are in favour of death sentences? That surprises me.

Saudis prince told them we will put you in prison but we will leave the back door open .

Who cares about this guy he’s not American why is this even news

Merkel said Germany's response (...) would depend on (...) answers as to who may be behind the poisoning. 'All evidence (...) are located in the place where the crime was perpetrated, presumably somewhere in Siberia,' Christopher Burger,a spokesman for Germany's foreign ministry

Lol if kangourou court was real.

F Saudi Arabia

Isn’t the SaudiArabia the parody of statehood 👉🏻UK/USA colonial engineering?

😂 wtf? How about prosecuting the actual “Prince” who ordered the murder!

Well they carried out the ORDERS TO KILL AND TORTURE FROM MBS. Bin Salman is the real KILLER so unless he’s also charged and executed, this trial is a Circus Clown Show.

Let's see if Trump have balls to say something against MBS I am sure he won't utter a single word because it's all about who is buying the weapons to hell with murder of a journalist in embassy of a NATO ally 😡😡😡

The critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin became sick from suspected poisoning on a flight (...) (...) global unease over Russia's role in the incident. Navalny's team have pointed the finger of blame directly at Putin (...)

Eight defendants paid by the Saudi government to murder Khashoggi were convicted by the Saudi government. America loves its brutal dictators as long as they give us a good price on a barrel of oil.

And realDonaldTrump replied 'Who?'

This is BS. we all know who was really responsible about butchering the man.

This administration should have made sure this journalist received justice rather than ignoring it

Oh. Here our King pardons traitors. We are the Saudi Arabia of the west.

Forgot one

It’s good the US is out to lunch on all foreign policy matters

But not MBS. Bet he was on the phone to a Jared when this was announced.

thx trump ..india gets away with xenephobia. ..china Uighurs...turn a blind eye ..World gone sdarwkacb

Tell them, if their Feudal Dominion makes the wrong decision about this punishment then they will face the downfall of its empowerment. Godspeed

Still waiting for Trump’s condemnation of: - Khashoggi assasins - White Supremacists - Russian bounties - Russian election interference - Russian poisoning - Belarus repression Time for a President who will put Americans and our values before profit. BidenHarris2020

Moral of the story. Don't work for the prince he will betray you and throw you in prison.
