The couple had married in 2018 months before his death. The demand for the return of the remains is part of broader diplomatic discussions between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia, which have been strained due to the incident.
The issue has sparked international debate, with many calling for transparency and accountability regarding the circumstances of Khashoggi’s death. Hanan Khashoggi has been advocating for justice and the repatriation of her husband’s remains, stating that the absence of his body has caused her immense emotional distress.
