Jamal Khashoggi’s widow has urged Keir Starmer to raise her husband’s murder at his meeting with the Saudi Arabia’s crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman.

Starmer will arrive in Saudi Arabia on Monday for talks with the Saudi crown prince as part of a two-day trip to the Middle East, his first to the region as prime minister.
