Top Saudi religious body regrets death of Jamal Khashoggi
Shoura Council Chairman Sheikh Abdullah Al-Asheikh said the biased campaign by some media against Saudi Arabia in connection with Jamal Khashoggi's death will fail because this country is protected by Almighty Allah due to its charitable deeds.
RIYADH: The top Saudi religious body, the Shoura Council, on Monday regretted the death of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Turkey earlier this month and praised the steps taken by King Salman after the incident.
These royal orders and directives reflect the keenness of the Kingdom’s leadership to search for the truth in this regrettable incident with all transparency and justice and hold accountable those responsible however high their posts might be, the Council said in a statement read by the Secretary General Muhammad Bin Dakhel Al-Muttairi.
The Council stressed that there is no immunity for anyone who violates the regulations by exploiting his position.
It said what happened to Khashoggi was an individual act and does not represent the Kingdom’s policy nor the policy of its institutions.
The Council rejected any politicization of this incident or its exploitation to attack the Kingdom and attempt to undermine its reputation.
Shoura Council Chairman Sheikh Abdullah Al-Asheikh said the biased campaign by some media against the Kingdom will fail because this country is protected by Almighty Allah due to its charitable deeds.
