Jamal Khashoggi Protection for Dissidents and Journalists Act of 2022

Summary

Jamal Khashoggi Protection for Dissidents and Journalists Act of 2022 This bill strips away sovereign immunity from a foreign state in certain legal proceedings where the plaintiff is seeking money damages for injuries or death caused by that foreign state's counter-dissident activities. (Generally, foreign states are immune from the jurisdiction of U.S. courts, including state courts, except in certain situations, such as when the foreign state has waived immunity.) The bill also makes inadmissible into the United States a non-U.S. national (alien under federal law) who has engaged in certain serious and extraterritorial counter-dissident activities on behalf of a foreign government, including actions to harass or harm journalists or activists.
