OR Saudi Arabia performed the distinguished journalist Turki Al-Jasser, who was arrested in 2018 and sentenced to “false accusations”, as supporters of freedom of the press say.
“The failure of the international community to bring justice to Jamal Kasoghi did not just betray a journalist- encouraged de facto ruler Prince successor Mohammed bin Salman to continue his persecution against the press,” the committee said in a statement.
The tweet posted by Turki al-jasser in 2014 was creepy prophetic: “The Arab writer can easily be killed by his government on the pretext of” national security “,” he wrote.
Last Saturday (14.06.2025), the Saudi Arabian Ministry announced that al-Jaser He was executed in Riyadh, for crimes that included “ultimately treason with communication and conspiracy against the security of the kingdom with people outside.”
Al-Jaser was around 40, and the execution came-in most cases in Saudi Arabia done by beheading with sword after 7 years of detention. The dissidents who spoke to the Guardian claimed that He underwent torture during his imprisonment.
It was the first high -profile murder of a journalist by the Saudi state after the assassination of Jamal Kasogki in 2018, Washington Post columnist and a prominent critic of Saudi -Saudi Prince Mohammed Bin Salman and Saiman Salman Saudi agents.
