The disappearance of Jamal Khashoggi, who was a journalist critical of Saudi Arabia working at the Washington Post, has caught the attention of all the international media and has created great controversy, exacerbated by clues pointing to his murder. Khashoggi visited the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on 2 October for an appointment to pick up documents for his forthcoming marriage and has not been seen since. Turkish officials allege they have “video and audio evidence that proves Khashoggi was interrogated and murdered by a 15-man hit squad sent from Riyadh”. Only on Monday 15 October afternoon, Turkish investigators were allowed to enter the consulate to carry on am investigation. UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, stated: “Under international law, both a forced disappearance and an extra-judicial killing are very serious crimes, and immunity should not be used to impede investigations into what happened and who is responsible. Two weeks is a very long time for the probable scene of a crime not to have been subjected to a full forensic investigation.” US government has been critical with the disappearance, and US secretary of state Mike Pompeo is travelling to Saudi Arabia to discuss the crisis surrounding Khashoggi. On the EU side, during a joint press conference in Lisbon with Portuguese Minister for Foreign Affairs Augusto Santos Silva, HRVP Mogherini said: “We are fully aligned with the US position on this” following US Pompeo’s declaration that the United States was “concerned by his disappearance”. She added “We expect a thorough investigation and full transparency from the Saudi authorities on what has happened”.
