We look at the civil lawsuit against Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, and the world’s worst humanitarian crisis that is unfolding in Yemen, seven years into the U.S.-backed, Saudi-led war and blockade.
In Part 2 of our interview with Sarah Leah Whitson, executive director of Democracy for the Arab World Now, or DAWN, she describes the organization’s civil lawsuit against Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, who was assassinated in the Saudi Consulate in Turkey in 2018 and was also DAWN’s founder. She also discusses the world’s worst humanitarian crisis that is unfolding in Yemen, seven years into the U.S.-backed, Saudi-led war and blockade. “This is a good moment to draw out the comparisons, the strong, strong parallels between what’s happening in Yemen and what’s happening in Ukraine,” says Whitson. In the first part of our interview, Whitson discusses the kingdom’s largest mass execution in its modern history, when it put 81 men to death within a span of just 24 hours on Saturday.
