Turkey tightens the screws on Saudi Arabia over Khashoggi murder
Interpol has issued “red notices,” on Ankara’s request, for a total of 20 Saudi citizens suspected of involvement in the killing of dissident Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Turkey is determined to increase the pressure on Saudi Arabia over the killing of dissident Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, even if hopes for justice, in this case, remain elusive.
Continuing calls by the United Nations, the US Congress, the European Parliament and international human rights watchdog groups on Riyadh to come clean over this murder are, nevertheless, encouraging for Ankara.
Ankara’s commitment to tightening the screws on Riyadh appears to be providing some results, too, despite its frustration over what it sees as insufficient international action against Saudi Arabia.
The Turkish Ministry of Justice announced March 14 that Interpol had issued “red notices,” on Ankara’s request, for a total of 20 Saudi citizens suspected of involvement in the murder.
