Saudi Dissident And Friend Of Khashoggi Promises To 'Keep Fighting'
Omar Abdulaziz is still trying to prevent the government of Saudi Arabia from silencing dissidents and journalists after the killing of his friend, journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Before he was killed, journalist Jamal Khashoggi gave $5,000 to a friend to create an online group aimed at drowning out the reported hundreds of pro-government trolls on Twitter. Those trolls criticized and tried to silence Khashoggi, and they are still trying to silence his friend — Omar Abdulaziz.
