#JusticeForJamal: Remembering Jamal Khashoggi one year after his brutal murder
Friends, colleagues and activists paid tribute to Jamal Khashoggi on Wednesday one year after his brutal killing shocked the world.
In Istanbul, activists and friends gathered near Saudi Arabia's Consulate to remember the Saudi journalist on the anniversary of his horrifying killing by Saudi agents.
The memorial began just after 1:14pm (10:14am GMT) - the time that Khashoggi walked into the consulate on 2 October 2018 to collect documents to marry his Turkish fiancée, who was waiting for him outside.
He didn't come out again.
