Kathmandu, October 23
The Federation of Nepali Journalists (FNJ) has submitted an objection letter to the Embassy of Saudi Arabia to protest the alleged murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khasoggi.
Journalist Khasoggi, who was based in the USA, served as an adviser to top Saudi officials but later fell out of favour with the government. He was recently killed inside the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul, Turkey. However, Saudi authorities have dismissed the accusations as “lies”.
According to FNJ general secretary Ramesh Bista, they submitted the objection letter at the embassy demanding fair and free investigation into the incident.
