\u201cOn this blessed night of the blessed month (of #Ramadan), we remember God\u2019s saying: ‘If a person forgives and makes reconciliation, his reward is due from Allah’,\u201d son Salah Khashoggi said in a tweet.<\/p>\n
\u201cTherefore we the sons of martyr Jamal Khashoggi announce we forgive and pardon those who killed our father, seeking reward from God almighty.\u201d<\/p>\n
Khashoggi, a columnist for The Washington Post, was killed and dismembered by a group of Saudi operatives shortly after he entered the country’s consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2, 2018.<\/p>\n
Riyadh offered various, conflicting narratives to explain his disappearance before acknowledging he was murdered in the diplomatic building, while seeking to shift blame for his death on a botched rendition operation carried out by rogue agents.<\/p>\n
Khashoggi’s body has never been found.<\/p>\n
UN Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial Executions Agnes Callamard concluded in an earlier report that Khashoggi’s murder was a “deliberate, premeditated execution” and encouraged an investigation of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman.<\/p>\n
Saudi officials, however, have insisted that the crown prince was not involved in the murder.<\/p>\n
Saudi Arabia announced at the end of last year that five people have been sentenced to death for taking part in Khashoggi’s murder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
