The Turkish fiancee of Jamal Khashoggi has filed a civil lawsuit in Washington, DC, against Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and other Saudi officials alleged to have played a role in the journalist’s murder two years ago.
The suit was filed in the US District Court for the District of Columbia jointly by Hatice Cengiz and her late fiance's Washington-based advocacy organization, Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN). They are seeking punitive damages for Khashoggi’s “ruthless torture and murder.”
