PARIS (AN) — Reporters Without Borders filed a criminal complaint in Germany on Tuesday seeking to hold Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and his top aides accountable for "crimes against humanity" in the 2018 murder of Saudi journalist and Washington Post contributing columnist Jamal Khashoggi and the "widespread and systematic" persecution of 34 other detained journalists.
The Paris-based media advocacy organization's criminal complaint of more than 500 pages — with charges of enforced disappearance, persecution, torture and unlawful killing — was filed with the public prosecutor's office in the Federal Court of Justice at Karlsruhe, Germany’s highest court of civil and criminal jurisdiction.
