Doha Centre for Media Freedom (DCMF) expressed concern over the developments in the case of the disappearance of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who has not been seen since entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul and after reports about his death.

The centre said in a statement Monday that it hopes that the ongoing investigations will reveal the truth about Khashoggi's disappearance and its circumstances, and enlighten the international public opinion on this case.
It urged the United Nations and human rights organisations, especially the one concerned with freedom of opinion and expression, to exert more pressure on the concerned parties to reveal the truth about Khashoggi's fate and ensure that international justice mechanisms are used to prevent impunity.
The centre stressed that this issue highlighted the restrictions on freedom of opinion and expression, and revealed the extent of violations against journalists and opinion writers, adding that these violations must be dealt with in accordance with the international laws, universal and human rights covenants which prohibit them.
