The world – Saudi Arabia
The organization announced that it decided to prosecute Bin Salman in Germany on charges related to the commission of crimes against humanity.
The organization condemned bin Salman’s responsibility for the murder of Khashoggi and the imprisonment of some thirty other journalists in the Kingdom.
It stated that the complaint was lodged with the “Prosecutor General of the Karlsruhe Federal Court of Justice” due to his jurisdiction over “fundamental international crimes”.
The complaint refers to “the apparent and systematic persecution of journalists in Saudi Arabia” and, along with bin Salman, targets four other senior Saudi officials.
Reporters Without Borders is holding a press conference in Paris on “crimes against journalists in Saudi Arabia”.
A few days after the United States issued its intelligence report on Khashoggi’s murder.
Before the press conference, Reporters Without Borders had expressed hope that those responsible for the crime would be specifically prosecuted.
“It is now imperative that independent courts guarantee justice and clarify exactly the responsibility of bin Salman,” said the organization’s secretary general, Christian Meyer.
“We must not forget that the crown prince and other high-ranking representatives of the royal family are also responsible for the widespread and systematic persecution of journalists,” Mir added.
There are currently at least 33 media professionals arbitrarily detained in Saudi Arabia, according to Reporters Without Borders.
And on Friday, a report on US National Intelligence, which was released by the secret administration of President Joe Biden, said that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman authorized the kidnapping or murder of Khashoggi, and that he (bin Salman) saw it as a threat to the kingdom.
The report identified 21 people, who the US intelligence community said was confident were involved in the brutal murder of the Saudi journalist.
The report concluded that “the control of intelligence and security services by the Saudi crown prince makes it unlikely that the operation will be carried out without his permission.”
The Al Saud regime heads a blacklist of regimes that have been implicated in murdering journalists and failing to hold the perpetrators accountable, as confirmed by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
According to a UNESCO report, almost 90% of the hands contaminated with the blood of more than a thousand journalists who were killed during the last 12 years, especially Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, have not yet been convicted, according to a report by the UNESCO. .
