  • Story Text:Dozens gathered for a candlelight vigil on Wednesday (October 02) outside the Saudi embassy in Washington, D.C. to mark the first anniversary since the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
    Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist and critic of the Saudi crown prince, was murdered on October 2, 2018. His dismembered body has never been found. A global outcry ensued and led to U.S. Treasury sanctions on 17 Saudi individuals and a Senate resolution blaming Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
    Saudi officials have denied suspicions that the crown prince, known as MbS, ordered the killing. Eleven people are on trial in Saudi Arabia.
