Ron Wyden, a member of the US Senate Intelligence Committee, said that pardoning Jamal Khashoggi’s killers did not bring the truth or justice closer, and that the United States could not accept the royal family’s campaign in Saudi Arabia to bury the case.

About two years ago, Khashoggi was killed by a Saudi team at his country's consulate in Istanbul. "Salah" Khashoggi’s son Salah tweeted on Friday dawn, saying, "We announce that we are the sons of the martyr Jamal Khashoggi, we are pardoning those who killed our father, may God have mercy on him - for God’s sake - and we all hope and reward for God Almighty.”

The American senator asserted that "whoever lives under a despotic and murderous regime cannot take a decision of his own free will," referring to Khashoggi's son saying that the family pardoned the killers.

For its part, the Arab Organization for Human Rights in Britain said that the case of the death of Jamal Khashoggi is not a family issue, and that any concession or amnesty from anyone does not affect the criminal nature of the case and the need to access full justice, especially determining the fate of the body.

The organization added that the case was expected to reach this method: Diyya in exchange for a family pardon. The case was described as "state terrorism that calls for those responsible to be held accountable before an international court."

The organization called on the Khashoggi family not to enter into controversies that disrupt efforts to hold those responsible accountable for Jamal's death.

The organization stressed that what made the issue reach this station is the lack of decision makers in the world to take a decisive stance towards the planners and implementers of the crime, which made the Saudi regime go further and even threaten everyone who raises his voice with the fate of Khashoggi.

"When will Salah Khashoggi understand that the murder of his father Jamal Khashoggi is not a crime against him until he is pardoned in exchange for Fella from Ibn Salman," said Yemeni activist Tawakkol Kerman, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2011.

"It is a crime against man. This is only her description. Only humanity has the right to pardon and not Salah. I believe in the grave moral consequences of the murder of Khashoggi. It is in the aging kingdom of Salman and the days between us," she said on her Twitter page.
