Khashoggi, a prominent columnist for The Washington Post and outspoken critic of the Saudi regime, was killed inside the Saudi consulate on October 2, 2018, where he had gone to obtain documents for his upcoming marriage. His death, which was carried out by a team of Saudi agents, was meticulously planned and executed, sparking outrage and calls for accountability globally. Despite significant international pressure, the Saudi Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), who is widely reported to have ordered the killing, has faced no consequences.
