Fiancee of slain journalist Khashoggi sues Saudi crown prince

 

The fiancee of murdered Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi has filed a lawsuit against Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) over the death of her husband to be. The lawsuit was filed at a US federal court by Hatice Cengiz and Khashoggi's organisation, Democracy for the Arab World Now. They allege the crown prince and his co-conspirators ordered the abduction, torture, murder, dismemberment and disappearance of Khashoggi. The lawsuit says the murder was carried out to silence and prevent the Washington Post journalist from speaking out against democratisation in the Middle East.
