(MENAFN) Saudi authorities banned journalist Jamal Khashoggi from writing in newspapers, appearing on TV and attending conferences, the Alkhalij Aljadid reported in Arabic.
In detail, this came after Khashoggi's remarks during a presentation he made at a Washington think-tank on 10 November in which he was critical of Donald Trump"s ascension to the US presidency.
Two weeks ago, an official Saudi source was cited by the Saudi News Agency as saying that Khashoggi did not represent the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in his interviews or statements.
"The author Jamal Khashoggi does not represent the government of Saudi Arabia or its positions at any level, and " his opinions only represent his personal views not that of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia," said a ministry source quoted by the Saudi Press Agency.
