This resolution commemorates the seventh anniversary of the brutal murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi by agents of the Saudi government. It acknowledges that the U.S. government has already sanctioned 17 Saudi individuals under the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act for their roles in the killing, following U.S. intelligence findings that Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman approved the operation. The House of Representatives calls upon the Government of Saudi Arabia to ensure **appropriate accountability** for all individuals responsible for Khashoggi's murder. It also urges Saudi Arabia to **release all wrongfully detained individuals** and to **respect the rights of Saudi citizens**, ensuring the protection of freedoms of assembly, association, and the press. The resolution highlights ongoing concerns about Saudi Arabia's crackdown on free expression and its perpetration of transnational repression against dissidents and journalists, which strains the important strategic relationship between the United States and Saudi Arabia.
