Saudi Arabia demotes foreign minister in wake of Khashoggi case - Published Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir has been demoted in a government reshuffle by the country's leader, King Salman. Mr Jubeir will become minister of state for foreign affairs, with Ibrahim al-Assaf taking over as foreign minister. The murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul has shone a spotlight on the ultra-conservative Islamic nation. Khashoggi was an outspoken critic of the ruling House of Saud. His articles in the Washington Post had been particularly critical of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the country's de facto leader. Saudi Arabia initially denied all knowledge of the journalist's fate after he disappeared on 3 October, but the Saudi public prosecutor subsequently described it as premeditated murder. Riyadh denies the ruling royal family was involved and blames "rogue agents". Mr Jubeir has been prominent in presenting Riyadh's stance, at one point accusing the Western media of "hysteria" in its coverage of the Khashoggi case. 'A clear demotion' by Frank Gardner, BBC security correspondent Nearly three months have passed since the murder of the Saudi journalist and critic Jamal Khashoggi inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. While it is highly unlikely that Adel al-Jubeir, the foreign minister at the time, knew anything about it, the consulates are his responsibility and the crime took place on his watch. Something needed to be seen to be done. He remains as minister of state - a clear demotion - giving up his place to a lifelong finance man, Ibrahim al-Assaf, who has a far more limited experience of international diplomacy. Jubeir has been an eloquent ambassador for Saudi Arabia on the world stage. He was the first senior Saudi official to publicly admit that Khashoggi had been murdered by what he called "rogue elements" of Saudi security. Other changes and appointments in the cabinet today are seen as part of an ongoing shake-up of the security and intelligence community after the scandal of the Khashoggi murder.

जमाल खशोग्जी हत्याकाण्ड: साउदी अदालतद्वारा पाँच जनालाई मृत्युदण्डको फैसला साउदी अरबको एउटा अदालतले पत्रकार जमाल खशोग्जीको हत्यामा संलग्न भएको ठहर गर्दै पाँच जनालाई मृत्युदण्डको फैसला सुनाएको सरकारी अभियोजनकर्ताले बताएका छन्। सन् २०१८ को अक्टोबर २ मा साउदी सरकारका आलोचना गर्ने पत्रकार जमाल खशोग्जीको टर्कीको राजधानी इस्तानबुलस्थित साउदी वाणिज्य दूतावासमा हत्या भएको थियो। अभियोजनकर्ताले नाम नखुलाइएका ११ जना माथि हत्यामा संलग्न भएकोमा मुद्दा दायर गरेका थिए। साउदी अरबले सुरुमा आफ्नो संलग्नता अस्वीकार गरेको थियो। ठूलो अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय दबावपछि खशोग्जीको हत्यामा साउदी राजपरिवारको संलग्नतालाई अस्वीकार गर्दै हत्या 'छाडा एजेन्टहरूले गरेको' आरोप लगाएको थियो। संयुक्त राष्ट्रसङ्घका एक अनुसन्धानकर्ताले उक्त घटनालाई 'राज्यद्वारा गरिएको हत्या' को सङ्ज्ञा दिएका थिए। तर बन्द ढोकाभित्र भएको सुनुवाइमा अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय मापदण्ड पूरा नगरिएको र साउदी प्रशासनले अर्थपूर्ण जवाफदेहितामा बाधा पुर्याएको ह्युमन राइट्स वाचले बताएको छ। को हुन् जमाल खशोग्जी? खशोग्जी एक चर्चित पत्रकार थिए। उनले अफगानिस्तानमा सोभियत सङ्घको अतिक्रमणदेखि ओसामा बिन लादेनको उदयसम्मका विषयमा कैयौँ साउदी समाचारसंस्थाका लागि समाचार लेखे। दशकौँसम्म उनी साउदी राजपरिवारको निकट रहे र सरकारको सल्लाहकारका रूपमा पनि उनले काम गरे। तर पछि उनको राजपरिवारसँग सम्बन्ध बिग्रियो र उनी अमेरिका निर्वासनमा गए। त्यहाँबाट उनले अमेरिकी पत्रिका द वाशिङ्टन पोस्टका लागि मासिक स्तम्भ लेख्न थाले। त्यसमा उनले साउदी राजकुमार मोहम्मद बिन सलमानका नीतिहरूको आलोचना गरे। आफ्नो पहिलो स्तम्भमा खशोग्जीले विरोधी स्वरमाथि दमन गर्न लागेका राजकुमार मोहम्मदले गिरफ्तार गराउन सक्ने आशङ्का व्यक्त गरेका थिए।
