11/30/2018 0 Comments November 30th, 2018Two months ago, a journalist named Jamal Khashoggi was found dead in the Saudi Arabian consulate building, in Istanbul, Turkey. Canada has sanctioned 17 saudi nationals, blocking trade with Canada, mainly in arms dealing and export, while also freezing any assets they may have had here, on the belief that they may have had things to do with the circumstance of Khashoggi's death, as there has been suspicious activity involving them. The aforementioned suspicious activity was the government not admitting to having anything to do with it, then later admitting he was killed by strangulation, insinuating they knew about it. "abhorrent and represents an unconscionable attack on the freedom of expression and freedom of the press." Are the exact words of foreign affairs minister Chrystia Freeland. Canadian government feels confident in imposing these sanctions, because the director of Canada's spy service travelled to Turkey and reviewed recordings of Khashoggis death, and Canada's government believes they were complicit or directly involved with the murder, as he was giving his input on certain events and the way the Saudi government operated, and since he was a journalist, the CIA believes that this played a role in his death as the word would spread faster. "Representatives of Saudi Arabia say that Jamal Khashoggi was an “enemy of the state”," Stated Donald Trump on the issue. This implies more that Saudi Government would have complied to the murder of Khashoggi. Personal opinionI believe that the murder of Jamal Khashoggi was an intentional crime, not a fist fight as was the first excuse. The saudi government admitted to knowing of his death and the cause of it, informing investigative services that he died of strangulation, and already 5 Saudi internationals are facing the death penalty for suspected involvement of the murder. I believe this could be classified as a hate crime, as the Saudi Government was prejudiced against Khashoggis opinion and criticism.
