Khashoggi's fiancee urges US to hold Saudis accountable

May 17 2019 12:00:02
WASHINGTON- Anadolu Agency

The fiancee of murdered Saudi Arabian journalist Jamal Khashoggi pleaded with Congress on May 16 to lead a new international investigation into his killing.

Hatice Cengiz poked criticisms at the stance taken by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration on Khashoggi's killing, telling a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee not enough was being done to hold those accountable for the act.

She said Trump told her the issue would be solved, yet "seven, eight moths later we see nothing has been done and that is why I'm here today."

Cengiz met Khashoggi at a conference in Istanbul in 2018, and after numerous interactions, the two connected and Khashoggi asked for her hand in marriage, with plans to move to Washington.
