THE GUARDIAN: Starmer will meet crown prince Mohammed bin Salman in Saudi Arabia for talks about forging closer ties on Monday
Jamal Khashoggi’s widow has urged Keir Starmer to raise her husband’s murder at his meeting with the Saudi Arabia’s crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman.
Starmer will arrive in Saudi Arabia on Monday for talks with the Saudi crown prince as part of a two-day trip to the Middle East, his first to the region as prime minister.
Hanan Elatr Khashoggi said it was incumbent on the UK to raise the case of her husband, who was killed inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in 2018.
Khashoggi was a Saudi journalist who was critical of the Saudi government and wrote a column for the Washington Post. US intelligence believes Prince Mohammed directly ordered his murder, which the kingdom strenuously denies. » | Eleni Courea, Political correspondent | Monday, December 9, 2024
One can but feel for this lady. She says that she has never received any apology or compensation from the kingdom. Nor have I for what the kingdom did to me. So, I, too, wish that Saudi would pay me compensation for my substantial losses. My human rights were also violated. – © Mark Alexander
