Turkish newspaper accuses Saudi official over missing journalist

Posted: 18 Oct 2018 05:23 AM PDT

A pro-government Turkish newspaper on Thursday pointed a finger at a Saudi security official close to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman over the disappearance of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, as Riyadh's ally Washington kept up its cautious stance. More than two weeks since Khashoggi disappeared after stepping inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, neither Turkey nor the United States have publicly confirmed he is dead or said that Riyadh is to blame.

In 'final column' missing writer Jamal Khashoggi says Arab states can silence media with impunity

Posted: 18 Oct 2018 12:58 AM PDT

Jamal Khashoggi's words could not be more powerful or more poignant. In a column published by the Washington Post on Wednesday night, the missing Saudi journalist says Arab governments have been given free rein by the international community to silence the media at an accelerating rate, in a piece that apparently foreshadowed his own fate. The writer has not been seen since entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul a fortnight ago. Turkish officials say they have obtained audio recordings that suggest he was tortured and killed although the government of Saudi Arabia insists it does not know what happened to the prominent dissident. In a note published with the column, Karen Attiah, global opinions editor at The Washington Post, said the piece perfectly captured Khashoggi's commitment to freedom in the Arab world: "A freedom he apparently gave his life for." She said she received it from his translator a day after he disappeared. The disappearance of Jamal Khashoggi "The Post held off publishing it because we hoped Jamal would come back to us so that he and I could edit it together," she wrote. "Now I have to accept: That is not going to happen. This is the last piece of his I will edit for The Post." In his piece, Khashoggi describes how the optimism of the Arab Spring in 2011 was quickly dashed, replaced by the Middle East's version of the Iron Curtain, imposed by domestic forces as they grappled for power. The rest of the world has done little as journalists were arrested or newspapers silenced, he continues. "Instead, these actions may trigger condemnation quickly followed by silence," he writes. "As a result, Arab governments have been given free rein to continue silencing the media at an increasing rate." He calls for a modern form of the old transnational media – something akin to Radio Free Europe that began broadcasting during the Cold War – to provide a platform for Arab voices. "We suffer from poverty, mismanagement and poor education," he writes. "Through the creation of an independent international forum, isolated from the influence of nationalist governments spreading hate through propaganda, ordinary people in the Arab world would be able to address the structural problems their societies face."

Canada is ready to open the door wide to legal marijuana

TORONTO (AP) — Tom Clarke has been dealing marijuana illegally in Canada for 30 years. He wrote in his high school yearbook that his dream was to open a cafe in Amsterdam, the Dutch city where people have legally smoked weed in coffee shops since the 1970s.
