UK Prime Minister Theresa May has announced the Saudi Arabian men suspected of murdering Saudi dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi will not be allowed to enter Britain.
“The Home Secretary is taking action against all suspects to prevent them entering the UK. If these individuals currently have visas, those visas will be revoked today,” May said while addressing lawmakers at a Parliament session on Wednesday.
May also revealed that she was due to speak to King Salman of Saudi Arabia later in the day to discuss the killing of Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2.
“The foreign secretary and the foreign ministers and our ambassador have been making our position very clear to the Saudi Arabians,” she said.
Several officials in the team allegedly sent from Riyadh to assassinate Khashoggi are close aides to Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman.
