LATE JAMAL KHASSORGGI 'S KILLING

MR ANTONIO GUTIERREZ ,

THE SECRETARY  GENERAL,

THE UNITED NATIONS ,

 The address of the United Nations Headquarters in

New York is: 405 East 42nd Street, New York, NY,

NEW YORK,UNITED STATESOF AMERICA.

                                                                        Dear Sir,

                                                                          Your Excellency i write you with a very heavy heart over the killing  of the deceased Saudi Arabian Journalist ,MrJamal Khassorggi now of blessed memories.

We at the E.N.M.Paedia Express Trust ,a Nigerian based charity  do not know what will be the eventual  position o f the United Nations on the gruesome murder  of an esteemed senior journalist but we dare say that we do hope that the global body will act swiftly on the matter.

This should send a serious signal to all political authoritarians globally that actions not properly carried out in line with the rule of law and global human rights statutes will no longer be accepted by all.

First of all, what were the sins  of Mr Khassorggi, speaking truth to power and this ironically is the tripod upon which every society and even religion stands upon.

Come to think of it,Khassorggi  confronted bad leadership in a nation which houses one of the greatest spiritual leanings in all of human history :Islam and this speaks volume of  the strength of character of the deceased .

It's a terrible shame that we were all alive in our respective homes and none of us could do anything to save him from the hands of his abductors, even as  Saudi official insist that they did not kill him.

Khassorggi we hear tried severally to convince Osama Bin Laden to abandon terrorism, he also condemned the bombings of the world trade centre ,Khassorggi fought for the rights of women and other vulnerable groups in the Arab world among so many other values that are now too numerous to be mentioned and yet his own nation not only killed him but cut him into bits and pieces like sardine.

We think it right  that if the United Nations are not paying lip services to its own rules on respect to the dignity of every human being to ask that the Saudi Arabian should go on suspension from its seats at the United Nations till when the dusts has settled after a month or two over the unfortunate incident.

We plead with the United Nations Secretary General to take out time of his very busy schedules to pay a visit to Saudi Arabia and console with the family of the deceased even if it is for a day,he can also use the period to lobby the Saudi leadership to compensate the family of the departed in any best way that they can in line with  their tradition.

While we do not know the criteria for choosing who the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia should be ,we think that it is a great disservice not just to Islam as a religion of great repute and piety but to the issue of leadership ,if the present holder of that position is allowed to continue in office without a check and balance via the establishment of a Council of Ulamas or Islamic Scholars who will help him in advisory capacity so that his decision making will almost be faultless at all times as his position is a highly sensitive one .

Life is sacred and it should be treated as so at all times.

Thanks,

Yours Affectionately,
