“We are carefully studying the report that has just been released. We have imposed visa restrictions and financial penalties for those who played a role in the murder. The Saudi authorities must find out all the facts and urge all those involved in the responsibility, ”RIA Novosti reports the words of the representative of the agency.
He noted that "if additional facts appear, we will consider further measures."
Earlier, the Special Rapporteur of the UN Council on Human Rights and Extrajudicial Executions, Agnes Qalamar, called on the Saudi authorities to admit guilt in the murder of journalist Jamal Hashukji and apologize for what he did. Saudi Arabia responded to this statement.
The official representative of the UN Secretary-General, Stefan Dujarrik, said that the head of the organization, Antonio Guterres, could not single-handedly initiate an investigation into the murder of journalist Jamal Hashukji, it can only begin after a relevant resolution of the Security Council.
Khashukji was killed in the territory of the Consulate General of Saudi Arabia in Istanbul, where he entered on October 2, 2018.
Later, parts of his body were found in a well on the territory of the residence of the Consul General of Saudi Arabia in Istanbul.
