<p class="mol-para-with-font">The State Department has barred 16 Saudis and their families from entering the U.S. for their roles in the murder of writer Jamal Khashoggi in Istanbul in October.<br />
The designation of the named individuals issued on Monday makes them and immediate family members ineligible for entry into the United States.<br />
Khashoggi wrote critically of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in columns for The Washington Post before he was killed.<br />
After denying any knowledge of Khashoggi&#8217;s death for weeks, Saudi authorities eventually settled on the explanation that he was killed in an operation masterminded by former advisers to the Crown Prince.<br />
Saudi Arabia&#8217;s crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, has been accused of ordering Khashoggi&#8217;s killing, but the kingdom claims the prince was not involved.<br />
The 16 people includes Saud al-Qahtani, a senior adviser to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, had already been sanctioned by the U.S. over Khashoggi’s death.<br />
Maher Mutreb, who was part of the crown prince&#8217;s entourage on trips abroad, was also included on the list.</p>

<p>Monday’s action was sanctioned under the 2019 State Department appropriations bill. This requires Secretary of State Michael Pompeo to refuse entry to individuals and immediate family members if he has information that they’ve been &#8216;involved in significant corruption or gross violations of human rights.&#8217;<br />
The names had already been announced publicly, but Monday&#8217;s designation tells them their family members are now also at risk of being subject to a travel ban.<br />
&#8216;Those individuals and their immediate family members are ineligible for entry into the United States,&#8217; the State Department said in a <a class="class" href="https://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2019/04/290986.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">statement</a>.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">Michael Pompeo has repeatedly insisted the U.S. will do what is necessary to punish those responsible for the death of Khashoggi, a former Saudi insider turned critic.<br />
The father-of-four disappeared on October 2 when he went to the Saudi consulate in Turkey alongside fiancée Hatice Cengiz to obtain divorce papers from his previous marriage so he could remarry.<br />
Turkey concluded that he had been killed soon after walking into the embassy and his body dismembered by a team of Saudi assassins.<br />
The Arab kingdom initially denied the killing.<br />
Saudi officials then changed the story several more times before finally acknowledging that he had been killed in an act of premeditated murder.</p>

It has been reported that he is under house arrest. However there is no indication whether he is being criminally prosecuted amid reports that someone near the crown prince had to shoulder responsibility for the high-profile death.<br />

The victim was still alive</strong></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Tubaigy was reported to have administered a powerful sedative to Khashoggi during a struggle inside the consulate.<br />
A Saudi public prosecutor said in November that Khashoggi was killed by lethal injection, then dismembered and handed over to an unidentified &#8216;local cooperator.&#8217;<br />
Turkish security sources say that when Khashoggi entered the consulate, he was seized by 15 Saudi intelligence operatives who had flown in on two jets just hours before.<br />
In January, Saudi Arabia indicted 11 people in the killing and is seeking the death penalty against five of them. Their names have not been released but their identities have been reported by various media outlets.<br />
A statement issued by prosecutors did not name those in court. It also did not explain why seven other suspects arrested did not immediately face formal charges. The kingdom previously announced 18 people had been arrested.<br />
Turkey demanded that Saudi Arabia extradite the suspects to be tried there for Khashoggi’s killing, but that request was rejected.</p>
