In Washington, D.C., the street outside the Saudi Embassy has been officially renamed Jamal Khashoggi Way to honor The Washington Post columnist who was dismembered inside the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul almost four years ago. The D.C. City Council approved the name change last year. A street-naming ceremony was held on Wednesday, just weeks before President Biden is scheduled to visit Saudi Arabia in an effort to mend ties with the oil-rich kingdom. The Yemeni-born Nobel Peace Prize winner Tawakkol Karman spoke at the ceremony in D.C. and criticized Biden’s trip.

Tawakkol Karman: “This means that Biden has abandoned his commitment to support human rights around the world, that Biden has abandoned his commitment to banish Jamal Khashoggi’s killer, that Biden has abandoned his promises to his people that he will be hand with hand with all freedom fighters around the world. And this is shame. It is shame. Shame on Biden administration.”
