Khashoggi’s Widow Seeks U.S. Pressure on Saudi Arabia for His Remains

Hanan Elatr Khashoggi, the wife of the late Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, has reiterated her call for the U.S. government to pressure Saudi Arabia to return her husband’s remains. The couple married in 2018, just months before Jamal was brutally murdered in Istanbul in 2018. Hanan has remained a vocal advocate for transparency and accountability, pushing for a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding her husband’s killing.

Despite ongoing diplomatic tensions, Hanan continues to demand clarity and justice, highlighting the emotional and political weight of her request. Her persistent calls have prompted renewed scrutiny of Saudi Arabia’s actions, particularly in light of the country’s recent diplomatic efforts with the U.S. The case has also underscored the broader implications for international relations and human rights advocacy.
