Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s visit to France was made two weeks after US President Joe Biden’s visit to Riyadh.
This trip, which resulted in widespread rejection of human rights activists and opponents of the government, is considered to be Bin Salman’s first European trip after issuing the order to kill journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a critic of the Al Saud family.
59-year-old journalist Khashoggi, a critic of the Saudi ruling body, was murdered in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2, 2018 (10 Mehr 98), a week after he criticized the Saudi authorities for their silence against the insults of the American president.
Earlier, in a series of articles in the Washington Post newspaper, Khashoggi criticized Saudi Arabia’s policies regarding the Qatar crisis, the severing of relations with Canada, the war against Yemen, and the Saudi authorities’ treatment of the media and civil activists, especially human rights defenders.
Yesterday, a non-governmental organization filed a complaint against the Saudi Crown Prince for complicity in the kidnapping and murder of Khashoggi to the French judicial system.
