Jamal Khashoggi: Fiancée demands justice at Istanbul vigil
Hatice Cengiz, Jamal KhashoggiContent ='JJ Lin'> 's fiancée, told The CrowdContent ='JJ Lin'> : "I want that those in power are held accountable for their actions"
A vigil has been held in Istanbul for Saudi journalist Jamal KhashoggiContent ='JJ Lin'> , who was murdered there One YearContent ='JJ Lin'> ago today.
Khashoggi, a prominent critic of Saudi ArabiaContent ='JJ Lin'> 's GovernmentContent ='JJ Lin'> , was killed inside The KingdomContent ='JJ Lin'> 's consulate in the Turkish city by a team of Saudi agents.
His fiancée Hatice Cengiz told the vigil she was still Seeking JusticeContent ='JJ Lin'> .
Saudi crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman denied being involved in The KillingContent ='JJ Lin'> , but a UN expert has called for The RoyalContent ='JJ Lin'> to be investigated.
In a report released in June, the expert described The KillingContent ='JJ Lin'> as a "premeditated extrajudicial execution".
On Sunday, Mohammed bin Salman maintained that he did not personally order Khashoggi to be killed, but said he took full responsibility as a Saudi leader.
Saudi prosecutors have put On TrialContent ='JJ Lin'> 11 people who they say were involved in the "rogue operation" that led to Khashoggi's death. They are seeking the death penalty for five of them.
But Human RightsContent ='JJ Lin'> Watch says The TrialContent ='JJ Lin'> does not meet international standards and that Saudi authorities have "obstructed meaningful accountability".
What happened at the vigil?The EventContent ='JJ Lin'> took place near the Saudi consulate, which the 59-year-old US-based columnist for the Washington Post entered on 2 October 2018 to obtain papers he needed to marry His Turkish fiancée, Ms Cengiz. She waited outside The BuildingContent ='JJ Lin'> for him, but he never emerged.
"I still seek justice," Ms Cengiz said in a speech at the vigil. "I want to know what happened to His body. I want His friends to be released from jail. I want that those in power are held accountable for their actions. "
The vigil took place near the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, where Jamal KhashoggiContent ='JJ Lin'> was murderedWashington Post owner Jeff BezosContent ='JJ Lin'> told her: "No-one should ever have to endure what you did. Right here, where you are, you paced that street for hours, pacing and waiting. And he never came out.
"It is unimaginable and you need to know that you are in our hearts. We are here and you are not alone. "
How did Jamal KhashoggiContent ='JJ Lin'> die?After listening to purported audio recordings of conversations inside the Saudi consulate made by Turkish intelligence on The Day of The KillingContent ='JJ Lin'> , the UN's special rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, Agnes CallamardContent ='JJ Lin'> , concluded that.
Saudi ArabiaContent ='JJ Lin'> 's deputy Public ProsecutorContent ='JJ Lin'> Shalaan Shalaan told reporters in November that the Murder was ordered by The HeadContent ='JJ Lin'> of a "negotiations team" sent to Istanbul by the Saudi deputy intelligence chief to bring Khashoggi back to The KingdomContent ='JJ Lin'> "by means of persuasion" or, if that failed, "by force".
Investigators concluded that Khashoggi was forcibly restrained after a struggle and injected with a large amount of a drug, resulting in an overdose that led to His death, Mr Shalaan said. His body was then dismembered and handed over to a local "collaborator" outside the consulate, he added. His body has not been found.
Five individuals had confessed to the Murder , Mr Shalaan asserted, adding: "[Crown Prince Mohammed] did not have any knowledge about it. "
According to interviews conducted by the special rapporteur, The DefendantsContent ='JJ Lin'> ' lawyers have argued in court that they were state employees and could not object to the orders of their superiors.
The MostContent ='JJ Lin'> senior official On TrialContent ='JJ Lin'> , former deputy intelligence chief Ahmad Mohammed Asiri, has reportedly insisted that he never authorised the use of force to bring Khashoggi back to Saudi ArabiaContent ='JJ Lin'> .
Who is responsible?Ms Callamard's June report concluded that it was "an extrajudicial killing for which The StateContent ='JJ Lin'> of The KingdomContent ='JJ Lin'> of Saudi ArabiaContent ='JJ Lin'> is responsible".
She also determined that there was "credible evidence, warranting further investigation of high-level Saudi officials' individual liability, including The CrownContent ='JJ Lin'> Prince 's", and called for them to be subject to international sanctions until evidence was produced that showed they had not been involved.
, Prince Mohammed said: "This was a heinous crime. But I take full responsibility as a leader in Saudi ArabiaContent ='JJ Lin'> , especially since it was committed by individuals working for the Saudi GovernmentContent ='JJ Lin'> . "
He also denied knowing about the operation, despite two of His closest advisers being implicated.
"Some think that I should know what three million people working for the Saudi GovernmentContent ='JJ Lin'> do daily? It's impossible that the three million would send their daily reports to the leader or the second highest person in the Saudi GovernmentContent ='JJ Lin'> ," he added.

Ms Callamard said on Monday that.
"The main implication of the recognition should be a formal acknowledgement, apologies and demonstration of non-repetition. This is what a responsible head of state should do. Nothing of this nature has occurred to date. Quite the contrary," she wrote on Twitter.
"Secondly, The CrownContent ='JJ Lin'> Prince takes great pains to distance himself from The KillingContent ='JJ Lin'> , creating layers after layers of officials and institutions between himself and the execution of Mr Khashoggi, suggesting they are acting like a buffer," she added.
"They are not. The identity of The KillersContent ='JJ Lin'> and planners point to a far closer relationship between them and him than he is prepared to admit. "
, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said those who killed Khashoggi "served the interests of a shadow state within The KingdomContent ='JJ Lin'> 's GovernmentContent ='JJ Lin'> - not the Saudi state or people".
He also pledged to continue Turkey's efforts to shed light on the Murder .
