AKIPRESS.COM - Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi's final column for The Washington Post has been published two weeks after he went missing, Sky News reports.

The US resident's assistant sent his passionate article on the lack of press freedom in the Arab world a day after he was reported missing after entering Istanbul's Saudi consulate on 2 October.

Mr Khashoggi, who had been working for the Post for a year, went into the consulate to obtain documents he needed to get married.

The Saudi dissident was reportedly killed soon after entering the building, which the Saudis have denied but cannot explain where he is.

In the column, entitled "What the Arab world needs most is free expression", he highlighted how Tunisia is the only country in the Arab world classified as "free".

The journalist wrote that people in other Arab countries "are either uninformed or misinformed" so are unable to address matters affecting their day-to-day lives.
