The son of the late Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, Salah Khashoggi, said, "The judiciary did justice to us, the children of the deceased."

He added in a tweet on Twitter: "Fairness of the judiciary is based on two principles, fairness and speedy litigation, and there is neither injustice nor procrastination."

Salah Khashoggi said: "We affirm our confidence in the Saudi judiciary in all its levels, that it does justice to us, and that justice is done ... Praise be to God and thanks to him."
