Following the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation have decided to cancel most of its $5 million pledge to the MiSk Foundation, a Saudi charity headed by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
“Jamal Khashoggi’s abduction and murder is extremely troubling. We are observing current events with concern,” the foundation said in a statement.
Khashoggi, a Saudi national and columnist for The Washington Post, was killed on October 2nd inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. After weeks of denying involvement, the Kingdom admitted he had been killed at the consulate and that it was premeditated.
