Saudi Arabia jails eight over Khashoggi murder, fiancee decries trial

The trial was criticised by a U.N. official and human rights campaigners who said the masterminds of the murder remained free.

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. In May, the family of the slain journalist said they forgave his murderers, paving the way for a reprieve for the five defendants sentenced to death.

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.

Listen Dog,MBS has murdered khashoggi in Saudi Consulate in Istanbul! That’s true But how many George Bush has murdered in Afghanistan, Palestine, and Iraq? And how many the queen Elizashit has murdered Dayana and etc?Be free and speak up?but You r hypocrites and shi

The Saudi judiciary is fair. No complacency will be allowed 👌🏻Saudi Arabia dealt with it in a very transparent manner.

Disunited nations by PeterZeihan - brilliant book.

waste of breath, no one important got punished. That's not Justice it's just a waste of everyone's time

Doesn't matter how many you try to blame, you can arrest 100 people but if the main subject is void and making innocent Saudis pay for 'HIS' crime, there has still been ZERO justice for Jamal Khasoggi.

Pretending It was denying so far but now this just another drama leaving out the real culprits Throwing out the bus poor

Round up the usual suspects

A sham and a joke against his memory.

I keep telling them Khashoggi’s murder won’t be forgotten until he has justice done and recompense is given to his fiancée and his family. This act brought shame to their country and Allah , blessed be his name, knows the evil doers and those who aid them.

The real killer PrinceMBS of SaudiArabia will be dealt with by the incoming US Administration. A journalist is dead, nobody can be allowed to walk away from that.

“The trial was criticised by a U.N. official and human rights campaigners who said the masterminds of the murder remained free.” Khashoggi

Including MBS who ordered the killing?
