Protests Demand Justice For Jamal Khashoggi

Jamal Khashoggi, a journalist from Saudi Arabia, who went into a self-imposed exile to the U.S. after Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman's crackdown on dissent, disappeared after he visited the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey on Oct. 2. Since then, scores of activists, journalists, and civil society protested against the kingdom, demanding justice for Khashoggi.

It was revealed last week that the Washington Post columnist was killed inside the consulate which the Saudi government finally accepted Friday after denying the accusations for weeks.
