PEN America On 
PEN America's statement on Saudi admission that Jamal #Khashoggi was killed in their consulate in Istanbul: "It is absurd to entrust the investigation of Khashoggi’s murder to those most likely to have ordered it."

Impossible to take seriously an admission that exposes all the Saudis' previous claims about #Khashoggi's fate as flagrant lies. An independent, international investigation is required. The Saudi regime must not be allowed to literally get away with murder.
This praise of an assault on a journalist is the backdrop for @PENamerican v Trump, our suit to protect the free press rights enshrined in the First Amendment. The horror of Jamal Khashoggi’s apparent murder is in mind too. https://t.co/v7Rk0WA4y8
