After the murder of the Saudi journalists Khashoggi in Istanbul any trace of the corpse is still missing. Instead, there is a lot of conjecture. Experts fear that the case could simply disappear in the files.
After the weekly Friday’s journalist Jamal Khashoggi, whose body is still nowhere to be found was prayer for the Saudi, everywhere in the world, the funeral ceremonies are held. In addition to Istanbul and Mecca, organized for believers and supporters in London, Paris and Washington, to pray for the journalists. At the funeral ceremony in Saudi Arabia, Khashoggis family members.
In front of almost one and a half months – that is now indisputable – was killed, the Journalist in the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul. He was there to get the documents for his upcoming wedding. Since then, Khashogi Jamal is nowhere to be found. And gradually fade the marks. Or they are blurred on purpose? What’s behind it? Turkish authorities, Khashoggis body had been dismembered, and then in an acid Bath decomposes. That is still no body parts were found, explain to the media, with the Thesis, a special command had specially traveled from Saudi Arabia to Istanbul, to destroy all the evidence.
The Saudi side to that is that Khashoggi came into the Consulate died and that his lifeless body was parts. The body parts had subsequently been transferred to an employee outside of the Consulate. The Deputy Saudi national, lawyer, Shalan Al-Shalan, said that it knows where the mortal Remains of the journalist were.
So there is a murder, but no body. Nadir Arican is a medical examiner and a lecturer at the medical faculty of the Istanbul University: “The idea is to decompose a body in a chemical substance, seems to me to be very clear,” he told Deutsche Welle. “It would also be possible that the body parts buried or simply in a river were thrown. Spontaneously, it could develop over a 100 scenarios.” By the way, as previously in the case of Khashoggi has been determined, for Arican especially of: “nonsense”.
Analysis of the Audio recordings?
The Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had indicated in a public statement to the fact that the competent authorities of the Audio had recordings that were apparently made during the murder. These are also countries such as Germany, France, the United States and the United Kingdom made available. The Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau, the the shots have also been given, said that he had listened to this. Nevertheless, it is not known whether and to what extent these sound-included documents in the Istanbul investigation or have been analyzed.
The government in Ankara demanded the convening of an international investigation teams. Turkish foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has brought this desire of Ankara in the last week several times. “At the current moment, international investigation are absolutely necessary,” said Cavusoglu.
Can be set up an international investigation Commission?
In Istanbul’s journalist Jamal Khashoggi took place last Friday there was a symbolic burial of the murdered Saudi.
Who should determine? The former Chairman of the Istanbul bar Association, Turgut Kazan, said that the Turkish side know also, of what persons and in what manner now, such an international investigation Commission could be made. In addition, Turkey had become active only after the suspicion of murder the Saudi had left to rule the Consulate, nationals of the country. “The investigation in this murder case, you should do credible steps. So far, none to be seen,” says Kazan.
That the accused Saudi Consulate were members of the Turkey, could not be explained by the fact that this immunity is enjoyed, stressed Kazan. The lawyer also points out that the Vienna Convention from 1963 consulates, in contrast to messages – much less privileges to be granted.
There is a need for the UN
From the point of view of the coroner, Arican, the “Minnesota Protocol for a possible establishment of a fact-finding Commission” of the United Nations from 1991 of importance. The UN member States undertake independent commissions to convene, if people in a country are executed without trial. “Although it is now one and a half months since the murder in Turkey have passed, so far there is no indication that an investigation Commission will be launched,” Arican.
Turkey requested the establishment of such a Commission, evaluates Arican as a positive step. “But so far has been carried out in Turkey and in Saudi Arabia not result in an open and transparent investigation of the Case by independent experts.” It continues, as before, would lead the investigation into the murder of Khashoggi probably never to a successful manhunt.
