Britain on Tuesday said they are looking
into ways to introduce global sanctions against Saudi Arabia in the wake
of the brutal killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
“The
U.K. has been clear that we need to see accountability for the horrific
murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi,” a Foreign Office spokesperson
said.
“The actions Britain and our
allies take will depend on two things: firstly the credibility of the
final explanation given by Saudi Arabia, and secondly on our confidence
that such an appalling episode cannot -- and will not -- be repeated,”
the spokesperson added in a statement.
The
U.K. is “exploring with EU partners the potential for an EU global
human rights sanctions regime, which could address such brutal human
rights violations".
