RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — The son of murdered Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, Salah, and his family have left the Gulf kingdom after the government lifted a travel ban, Human Rights Watch says Thursday.

“Salah and his family are on a plane to [Washington] DC now,” Sarah Leah Whitson, HRW’s executive director for the Middle East and North Africa, tells AFP.

There is no immediate comment from Saudi officials, but Whitson says that they were apparently allowed to leave after a travel ban on Salah was lifted.
