Amnesty chief on MBS-Macron meeting: ‘Clearly, it’s wrong because he is a killer’
FRANCE24, 29 Jul 2022
Macron hosted Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Thursday as part of increased Western efforts to court the major oil-producing state amid the war in Ukraine and faltering talks to revive a nuclear deal with Iran.
French opposition figures and human rights groups have criticised Macron's decision to invite to dinner at the Elysee a man that Western leaders believe ordered the murder in 2018 of prominent Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
“The double standard that’s underpinning those meetings… You can talk as much as you want behind closed doors. That won’t make any difference,” Amnesty International secretary general Agnes Callamard told FRANCE 24.
