On this day, seven years ago, the world lost a great thoughtful leader, journalist, husband, father and grandfather: Jamal Khashogi. As his widow, my disadvantage was inspired in the same way that occurred in those days and weeks, which were leading to his pre -determined murder.
The main pieces of evidence that relax these answers in the individual devices of Jamal: two mobile telephones, a laptop and a tablet. I believe that those tools will reveal undeclared details about the killing of Jamal which are important to know the complete truth and carry forward the cause of justice. Those devices are in the possession of the Turkish government.
Through the important work of Citizen Lab, I learned myself The device was targeted with NSO Group Pegasus SpywareThis insidious spyware has “zero-click” capabilities capable of infecting devices, able to trigger voice and camera monitoring, without knowing the victim anytime.
Further exams of my equipment were not only shown trekking by this spyware, but also evidence that another spyware, celebrite was transplanted on my equipment and downloaded all my communications with Jamal. All this happened before Jamal’s murder in 2018, and when I was less than 17 hours of questioning by the Intelligence Arab Emirates intelligence officials.
I came to know that my equipment was compromised, as Jamal, and I consistently discussed our plans for the future, including our travel plan. When were we listening to us? Did they know that every movement and travel plan of Jamal is planned? I suspect that Jamal’s phones were compromised equally under the direction of the Saudi government.
In 2019, Turkish officials said they were holding Jamal’s phones, tablets and computers as part of their investigation, and were examining those equipment “. I expected that during the much awaited tests in Türkiye, the prosecutor would reveal the important evidence collected on Jamal’s equipment. But it was never, because the test in Türkiye was suddenly Stopped and moved to Saudi Arabia Without any answer.
I personally have asked Turkish President Recep Taip Erdoan for my husband’s equipment. During the Biden administration, I also turned to the American Director of National Intelligence, Everr HansTo help me secure these devices. Both attempts stumbled.
It is estimated that Saudi Arabia’s crown prince, Rajkumar Mohammed bin Salman, May Go to President Trump In Washington, DC in this November. While some want to believe that my husband’s murder is a closed case, many issues are still unresolved and unanswered after seven years. Due to justice, it is important to know whether Jamal’s equipment was infected with NSO’s spyware and who had implanted that spyware on my husband’s equipment. As his wife, I deserve to know the truth.
Hanan L. Khashogi is a widow of Saudi journalist and Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashogi, who was killed at the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul, Turkey on October 2, 2018.
