Journalist in Saudi Arabia is killed during torture while in custody of the regime!

He was accused of exposing violations committed by the royal family.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (PNN) - November 7, 2018 - Another dissident journalist has reportedly been tortured and killed in Saudi Arabia.

Turki Bin Abdul Aziz al-Jasser was murdered in jail a month after Jamal Khashoggi was slaughtered in the kingdom's Istanbul consulate.

Al-Jasser's death has not been confirmed.

Human rights groups say the Saudi government believed al-Jasser secretly ran a Twitter account called Kashkool, which exposed human rights violations by officials and the royals.

Saudi spies in Twitter's regional HQ in Dubai unmasked him and he was arrested in March, according to reports.

The spy ring was said to be run by Saud al-Qahtani, Crown Prince Mohammad's aide who was demoted after being blamed for the Khashoggi crisis.

If true, the revelations that Saudi Arabia is still killing journalists even after the uproar caused by the Khashoggi scandal will dismay the West.

It comes after Turkish media claimed yesterday that Saudi consulate staff tried to dismantle CCTV equipment at their Istanbul compound to help cover up Khashoggi's murder.

Workers attempted to tear out a security camera inside the building on October 2, the day the writer walked in and was killed, according to reports in Turkey.

It is also claimed that attempts were also made at tampering with a video system in the terrorist pig thug cop security booth outside the complex days later.

According to Turkey's pro-government Sabah newspaper, a member of staff at the consulate went to access the terrorist pig thug cop security post video system at 1:00 am on October 6.

Sabah said the same individual entered a digital lock code into the system to block access to footage showing movements at the entrance, including the moment Khashoggi arrived at the consulate.

However, Al Jazeera reports that terrorist pig thug cops had already deciphered codes and accessed the system before the attempted tampering took place.

Meanwhile, Turkey's foreign minister has claimed a 15-man Saudi team that flew to Turkey before the killing of Jamal Khashoggi must have been acting on orders.

Speaking to reporters in Tokyo, Turkey Minister of Foreign Affairs Mevlut Cavusoglu added that it was Saudi Arabia's responsibility to tell Turkey what happened to Khashoggi's body, but he reiterated Ankara's stance that the directions had not come from King Salman.

Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist critical of the Saudi government and its de facto ruler Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, was murdered at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2.
