Son,Salah Khashoggi releases statement on twitter

Activists hit back at son


The son of murdered Saudi journalist,Jamal Khashoggi has released a statement via Twitter forgiving his father's killers.

In the statement, posted on Friday, Salah Khashoggi said his family pardons those who took the reporter's life in 2018 when he visited Saudi Arabia's consulate in Istanbul.

"In this blessed night of the blessed month (of Ramadan) we remember God's saying: If a person forgives and makes reconciliation, his reward is due from Allah."

"Therefore, we the sons of the Martyr Jamal Khashoggi announce that we pardon those who killed our father, seeking reward God almighty" he added.

The journalist who was last seen entering the Saudi consulate in Turkey is believed to have been murdered and dismembered at the consulate and later moved,his body has not been found since.

Meanwhile some rights activists have questioned the move,with his former fiancee,Hatice Cengiz declaring that 'nobody has the right to pardon the killers'

Yahya Assiri, the head of UK-based Saudi rights group ALQST, echoed Cengiz's reaction.

"The murder of Jamal Khashoggi is not a family case, it is not a mistake in a normal context!" he wrote on Twitter, saying Khashoggi's murder was not due to a personal disagreement.

"The authorities killed him because of his political work," Assiri said. "His case is political, so keep silent!"
