The Canadian government took its first concrete measure Thursday to protest the killing of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi inside Saudi Arabia's consulate in Istanbul, Turkey. Khashoggi's killing is "abhorrent and represents an unconscionable attack on the freedom of expression and freedom of the press," Freeland said. "It is the clear opinion of our government that they were either directly involved in, or complicit in the murder," Freeland said. As the G20 Meetings in Buenos Aires get underway, Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland announces sanctions against 17 Saudis linked to the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. All of the individuals on the list were already in jail, making it impossible for them to travel to Canada anyway.
