Director of Communications releases statement on Jamal Khashoggi

Director of Communications Fahrettin Altun said, "We all know Jamal’s killers. Let’s make them pay: Send the Saudi henchmen to Turkey. Let them appear in a public court with international observers. Cooperate with the criminal investigation in Turkey.”

Altun shared the following on his Twitter account on the occasion of the second anniversary of the Khashoggi murder. 

Altun stated that, two years ago today, Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi walked into an ambush at Saudi Arabia’s consulate in Istanbul and that, unbeknownst to him, someone in Riyadh had dispatched a death squad, including a forensic expert and a body double – with a bone saw.

Stating that Khashoggi’s murderers have been exfiltrated and harboured since that day, Altun said:

"Jamal’s killers have since been ex-filtrated. Harboured. Brought to a show trial. Allowed to walk free. Turkish prosecutors, police officers and communication experts continue to work, day and night, to bring Mr. Khashoggi’s killers to justice. We serve the cause of justice and truth. We all know Jamal’s killers. Let’s make them pay: Send the Saudi henchmen to Turkey. Let them appear in a public court with international observers. Cooperate with the criminal investigation in Turkey – the only investigation that was ever intended to shed light on what happened.”
