Saudi leader Muhammad Bin Salman has been granted immunity in the murder case of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Jamal Khashoggi, a prominent Saudi journalist and critic was murdered in Istanbul at Saudi Consulate in 2018.
Khashoggi’s ex-fiancé, Hatice Cengez filed a case against the Saudi prince Muhammad Bin Salman claiming that he is responsible for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
The case filed suggested that the Saudi prince and his officials have “kidnapped, bound, drugged, tortured, and assassinated US-resident journalist and democracy advocate Jamal Khashoggi”.
In the beginning, the US intelligence also believed that Saudi Prince is responsible for this murder.
But in the court, US state department stated that the Saudi prince has immunity due to him being the Saudi prime minister.
As this news was made public, Khashoggi’s ex-fiancé wrote on Twitter that, “Jamal died again today.”
