US Revokes Visas Of Saudis Involved In Khashoggi’s Murder

Jamal Khashoggi, media advisor to Prince Turki Al-Faisal, leaves the Royal Courts of Justice in central London. The Prince, Saudi Arabia's Ambassador to the Court of St James, won a settlement in his libel action against publishers Hachette Filipacchi Associes and its magazine Paris Match. The magazine published an article in October last year featuring an interview with Laurent Murawiec and extracts from his book 'La Guerre D'Apres' alleging that Prince Turki was closely involved with Al-Qaeda.

The late Jamal Khashoggi has been included alongside other journalists as Person of the Year by Time magazine.

Tagged “The Guardians”, Khashoggi, who was killed at the Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul in October, and the other journalists were chosen for being targeted for their work.

This is the first time that a Person of the Year is a deceased person.

A series of four black-and-white covers highlights what the magazine calls “the War on Truth.”

The four covers were unveiled on the “Today” show on Tuesday by Time editor Ed Felsenthal.

Aside the cover on Khashoggi, another cover features Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo, two Reuters journalists who were arrested late last year in Myanmar while they were working on stories about the killings of Rohingya Muslims, a minority population in Myanmar’s Rakhine state. The two men remain behind bars. Their wives were photographed for the cover.

Also included is the journalists at the Capital Gazette, the Annapolis, Maryland newspaper where five employees were murdered by a gunman last June.

And the fourth cover shows Maria Ressa, chief executive of the Philippines news website Rappler. She was indicted last month on tax evasion charges — a case that free speech and civil liberties advocates have warned is part of a wider crackdown on dissent by Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte’s administration.

“For taking great risks in pursuit of greater truths, for the imperfect but essential quest for facts that are central to civil discourse, for speaking up and for speaking out, the Guardians” are the Person of the Year,” Felsenthal wrote.

“As we looked at the choices, it became clear that the manipulation and abuse of truth is really the common thread in so many of this year’s major stories.” he said.

“This is the first time we’ve chosen someone no longer alive as Person of the Year, but it’s also very rare that a person’s influence grows so immensely in death. His murder has prompted a global reassessment of the Saudi crown prince and a really long overdue look at the devastating war in Yemen.”

US President, Donald Trump, was the runner-up for this year’s Person of the Year title. Special counsel Robert Mueller ranked No. 3.
