Jamal Khashoggi

Canada should invoke the new Magnitsky Act to sanction those responsible for the killing of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi, the official Opposition said on Monday, October 22, 2018.

Canada has condemned the killing of a Washington Post journalist in Saudi Arabia's consulate in Turkey.

This Khashoggi business has turned into a laughable parody of a Monty Python dead parrot sketch.

The federal government has no intention of sending anyone to a major investment conference in Saudi Arabia next week at a time when Riyadh is the target of global outrage — and one source insists Ottawa never had plans to dispatch a delegation.

Canadian and global foreign policy towards Saudi Arabia can't be driven by revulsion over the treatment of individual human rights cases, Canada's most recent ambassador to the country says.

Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland says Canada is very worried about the disappearance of missing journalist Jamal Khashoggi, and makes no apologies for pushing a human rights agenda with Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia on Sunday threatened to retaliate for any sanctions imposed against it after President Donald Trump said the oil-rich kingdom deserves "severe punishment" if it is responsible for the disappearance and suspected murder of Washington Post contributor Jamal Khashoggi.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau demurred on Friday, October 12, 2018, on the darkening mystery surrounding the fate of Jamal Khashoggi, saying only that Canada has "serious issues" with reports the Washington Post columnist was killed by Saudi Arabian operatives inside that country's consulate in Turkey.
