Canada sanctions 17 Khashoggi murder suspects
Shares
TRENTON: Canada imposed sanctions on 17 Saudis it believes are complicit in the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
“The murder of Jamal Khashoggi is abhorrent and represents an unconscionable attack on the freedom of expression of all individuals,” Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland said in a statement. “Canada continues to call for a credible and independent investigation. Those responsible for Jamal Khashoggi’s murder must be held to account and must face justice.”
The US government imposed sanctions on 17 Saudi officials earlier this month, alleging a 15-man execution team went to Turkey to carry out the killing.
The 17 are the same ones the Saudis have blamed and arrested for the killing.
