RSF calls for boycott of Riyadh summit, freeze on business ties with Saudis

NewsReporters Without Borders (RSF) calls for a boycott of next week’s Future Investment Initiative summit in Riyadh and a freeze on all commercial ties with Saudi Arabia now that the Kingdom has recognized, after denying it for two weeks, that Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi died in its Istanbul consulate.Participants in the summit should pull out, RSF said, adding that any resumption of business as usual would be tantamount to giving Saudi Arabia a “licence to kill” journalists.
