Saudi Crown Prince faces discussion on Khashoggi murder at G20 Summit

30 November, 2018 22:11

Argentine President Mauricio Macri, the host of G-20 Summit, has said the matter of the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi will be ‘on the table’ during bilateral and possibly broader meetings that made it clear that Saudi crown prince Mohammed Bin Salman (MBS) cannot avoid Khashoggi case at G-20 Summit also.

The summit is the Saudi prince’s first significant appearance at an international forum abroad since the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the kingdom’s Istanbul Consulate. Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has been sharply critical of Saudi Arabia over the incident, is also in attendance.
French President Emmanuel Macron, who flew into Buenos Aires on Wednesday as one of the earliest arrivers, called for international involvement and “complete clarity” in investigations into the killing, and said that European leaders should discuss it at a meeting Friday.
Human Rights Watch has accused Saudi monarchy of responsibility and also of war crimes in Yemen, and on Wednesday, Argentine legal authorities took initial action to consider a request to prosecute Saudi Crown Prince MBS for alleged crimes against humanity — a move apparently aimed at embarrassing him as he attends the summit.
