"Along with journalists everywhere we mourn the death of our colleague Jamal Khashoggi.

We hope that President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, will respond appropriately to the lies it is now clear they were told by Saudi leaders. We join the call for a United Nations investigation into this atrocity.

The best memorial for a journalist is pursuit of the truth."
