The Saudi trial into the killing of critic Jamal Khashoggi has lacked transparency and fallen short on assigning accountability for the crime, the U.N. human rights office stated on Tuesday.
A Saudi Arabian courtroom on Monday jailed eight individuals for between seven and 20 years for the 2018 homicide of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, state media reported, 4 months after his household forgave his killers and enabled dying sentences to be put aside.
U.N. spokesman Rupert Colville, noting that the United Nations opposes the dying penalty, informed a Geneva briefing: “This is case where there has not been proper transparency in the justice process, those responsible should be prosecuted and given sentences commensurate with the crime.”
“There is a whole issue of transparency and accountabilty in the case,” he stated.
