<p>The death of Jamal Khashoggi brought the issue of media freedom into sharp focus.
The UK’s condemnation of the killing of Jamal Khashoggi has been made clear to the
Saudi authorities at the highest levels. 2018 was the deadliest year for journalists,
with 99 killed, 348 detained and 60 taken hostage by non-state groups. As part of
the global media freedom campaign, the Foreign Secretary and his Special Envoy on
Media Freedom, Amal Clooney, will establish a panel of legal experts who will examine
legal and policy initiatives that states, including Saudi Arabia, can adopt to improve
media freedom.</p>
