On Thursday, friends, politicians and human-rights activists remembered Jamal Khashoggi, 100 days after the killing of the Saudi journalist.
A vigil was organised at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey, where Khashoggi was murdered on October 2, and a memorial service was held in the US Congress in Washington. DC.
Some members of the Congress are pressuring President Donald Trump to re-evaluate relations with Saudi Arabia and its Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who is widely suspected of ordering the killing.
Will justice ever be served or will diplomatic and trade links overrule human rights principles?
