Three years without Justice For Jamal Khashoggi

This Saturday, October 2, will mark the three-year anniversary of the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.

CPJ continues to call for #JusticeForJamal and seek answers in his case.

In 2019, CPJ joined a lawsuit urging a U.S. district court to order the intelligence community to confirm or deny the existence of documents on its duty to warn Khashoggi of threats to his life or explain their refusal to do so. But in August, an appeals court ruled that the intelligence agencies were not required to disclose whether they knew of threats to Khashoggi ahead of his murder. We continue to believe the public deserves the truth in this case.

As the Taliban took power in Afghanistan, CPJ has helped Afghan journalists evacuate from Kabul. For many, Doha, Qatar, was the first stop on their way to new homes. Lucy Westcott, CPJ’s Emergencies research associate, traveled to Doha to assist them. Read about her experience here. In addition this week, CPJ also called on EU states to prioritize safe passage for fleeing Afghan journalists.

Jamal Khashoggi

One year after Jamal Khashoggi’s murder at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, calls for justice have gone unanswered. CPJ and partner organizations held a candlelight vigil outside the Saudi embassy in Washington, D.C.
