Commemorating the seventh anniversary of the murder of Jamal Khashoggi and calling for accountability.

This House resolution marks seven years since journalist Jamal Khashoggi was killed by agents of the Saudi government at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey, in 2018. It notes that the U.S. government has sanctioned 17 Saudi individuals under the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act for their roles in the killing. It calls on the Saudi government to hold all those responsible accountable, release named individuals the resolution describes as wrongfully detained, and protect the freedoms of assembly, association, and the press. The resolution states positions and does not create new laws or penalties.
