Saudi court issues final verdicts for 8 people in death of Jamal Khashoggi
Author: admintech | Filed under: WorldFinal verdicts were issued Monday in Saudi Arabia for eight people in the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi, in a judicial process slammed by a U.N. investigator as a “parody of justice.” Five people were given 20 years in prison, another person received a 10-year sentence, and the two remaining people were ordered to serve seven years in prison, a spokesperson for Saudi Arabia’s public prosecution bureau announced. The trial has been criticized by a U.N. official and human rights campaigners who have said that the high-level architects of the murder remain free.
