Saudi Arabia Executes Journalist Turki al-Jasser

HeadlineJun 18, 2025

Saudi Arabia has executed the prominent journalist Turki al-Jasser, who was arrested in 2018 and convicted on what press freedom advocates say are trumped-up charges. The Committee to Protect Journalists said, “The international community’s failure to deliver justice for Jamal Khashoggi did not just betray one journalist; it emboldened de facto ruler Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to continue his persecution of the press.”
