Tunisian activists are asking a court to bar Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman from visiting the North African country in protest over the killing of Saudi columnist Jamal Khashoggi.

MBS, as the power behind the Saudi throne is widely known, began a tour of Arab countries on Thursday, his first trip abroad since Khashoggi’s murder at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2 triggered an international outcry and roiled relations with some Western nations. Prince Mohammed is expected to stop by Tunisia next week.
