Khashoggi: ‘Saudi Arabia frees masterminds’ – Turkey rejects sentence

Turkey has vowed to follow the case of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi’s killing.

The country’s Communications Director, Fahrettin Altun, said on Tuesday, Reuters reports.

Turkey slammed Riyadh’s verdict in the “sham trial” as an insult to the intelligence of observers.

Saudi Arabia on Monday sentenced five people to death and three to jail over Khashoggi’s murder, but a UN investigator accused it of making a “mockery” of justice by allowing the masterminds of last year’s killing to go free.

“The verdict of the sham trial is an insult to the intelligence of any fair observer.

“Those responsible must face justice sooner or later. We will follow this case to the end regardless how high it goes”, Altun said.
