Altun: Turkish officials continuing to work to bring Khashoggi’s killers to justice
Turkey’s Director of Communications released a statement on Twitter regarding the murder of the columnist Jamal Khashoggi, who was assassinated at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on 2 October 2018 by agents of the Saudi government.
“Two years ago, today, Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi walked into an ambush at Saudi Arabia’s consulate in Istanbul, Turkey. Unbeknownst to him, someone in Riyadh had dispatched a death squad, including a forensic expert and a body double – with a bone saw,” Altun said.
“Jamal’s killers have since been exfiltrated. Harbored. Brought to a show trial. Allowed to walk free. Turkish prosecutors, police officers and communication experts continue to work, day and night, to bring Mr. Khashoggi’s killers to justice. We serve the cause of justice and truth.”
“We all know Jamal’s killers. Let’s make them pay: Send the Saudi henchmen to Turkey. Let them appear in a public court with international observers. Cooperate with the criminal investigation in Turkey – the only investigation that was ever intended to shed light on what happened,” Altun added. (ILKHA)
