How Dangerous Is It to Be a Journalist in the Arab World? l Inside Story
The case of missing Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi has shocked and capitvated the world, as information trickles out about his disappearance, and possible murder inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
Beyond the gruesome details, at the core of this story is a journalist, who had been threatened for his reporting and opinions.
Khashoggi wrote critically about the Saudi government, warning the world, that Saudi Arabia could never be a democracy under the current crown prince Mohammed bin Salman. He highlighted the plight and struggles of journalists in his country, saying there was no space for free speech since journalists and intellectuals are often jailed for expressing their views. So, how much of a threat are journalists to Arab governments?

Who Killed Jamal Khashoggi? l Inside Story
The Turkish Attorney General's office told Al Jazeera there is evidence Khashoggi was killed inside the consulate, something Saudi Arabia had consistently denied. But media sources in the U.S. suggest the Kingdom is preparing to acknowledge he died during an interrogation that went wrong.
King Salman said he didn't know anything about it in a phone call with President Trump who then suggested “rogue killers” may be to blame. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is now in Riyadh looking for answers as to what actually happened after Khashoggi was last seen entering the consulate on October 2nd.
