On Friday, the non-governmental organization Amnesty International condemned Ankara’s intention to transfer to Saudi Arabia the case file of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who was killed in Turkey in 2018.

“Today is a dark day for those who spent more than three years fighting for justice for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. By taking the case… Turkey will knowingly and voluntarily send him into the hands of those responsible” for his killing, Agnès Callamard, Secretary General of Amnesty International, said in a statement.

Turkish Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag announced on Friday that he would give a positive opinion on the transfer of the file to Saudi Arabia after the Istanbul prosecutor asked to “close the file” of the case of Khashoggi, who was killed in his country’s consulate in Turkey in 2018.
