It is a mockery“ said Miss Agnes Callamard, a special rapporteur and a human rights expert for the United Nations
=
That political rhetoric’s exasperating. Truth meant death. Aye, that nasty satanist, the testy entitled Crown Prince Mohammed from Saudi Arabia’s directly involved and responsible for the talented Jamal Khashoggi’s heinous beheading in Turkey. They must refute the lie, sentence him in absentia too
