Salah Khashoggi: I will not accept exploitation of my father’s case by enemies

JEDDAH — Salah Khashoggi, son of murdered Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, said on Monday that he will not accept the exploitation of his father’s case by his country’s “opponents and enemies.”

“A year has passed since the death of my beloved father. During that time, my country’s opponents and enemies east and west sought to exploit his case, may he rest in peace, to harm my country and leadership,” tweeted Salah Khashoggi.

“My father has never in his life accepted any offense to them or any attempt to harm them. And I will not accept that his memory and case be exploited to achieve that after his passing.”

“I repeat what I have said in the past, I have absolute confidence in Saudi Arabia’s judiciary, in its ability to retrieve justice from the perpetrators of this heinous crime. And I will be as Jamal Khashoggi was, loyal to God, then to my country and its leadership,” said Salah.
