The Nobel Peace Prize-winning human rights activist, Tawakkol Karman, said that the trial of 20 Saudi accused of killing journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul is a step towards justice.

In a tweet shared on social media, Tawakkol Karman stressed that justice will remain absent and the human conscience in pain until bin Salman and his senior aides are brought to the International Criminal Court for being tried for what she described as a heinous crime against humanity.
