A UN human rights expert has arrived in Turkey for a weeklong visit over the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, The Associated Press reported.
Special Rapporteur Agnes Callamard and her team of experts on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary killings met with Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu in Ankara on Monday.
Turkey’s official Anadolu news agency said they are also expected to meet with Turkey’s justice minister and the İstanbul prosecutor heading the investigation.
Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist who wrote critically about the Saudi crown prince, was killed inside the Saudi Consulate General in Istanbul on Oct. 2. His remains have still not been found.
Turkish officials have called for an international investigation and complained of a lack of cooperation by Riyadh.
Saudi Arabia has indicted 11 people in the killing and is seeking the death penalty against five of them.
