The widow of murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi has urged Joe Biden to press the case of political prisoners if he meets with the Saudi leader accused by US intelligence of murdering her husband.
Hanan El-Atr said if the US president proceeds with what would be a highly controversial meeting with crown prince Mohammed Bin Salman – on the campaign trail Mr Biden denounced Saudi Arabia and said it should be made a “pariah nation” – he should use it to press the causes that were so important to her late husband.
