The paper focuses on the issue of the alignment of the state's right to, on one hand, control information flows for security purposes and, on the other hand, internationally recognized human rights based on the example of the incident involving the killing of a Saudi journalist, Jamal Khashoggi. It takes into account the respective coverage in the media, dynamics of the change in the tone of the post-incident reports on the KSA's government and the impact of the associated reputational risks on the political as well as financial and economic situation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of the publications for three months of 2018 indirectly attests to the immense reputational losses of the Kingdom, which eventually resulted in financial and economic losses. The paper retraces the intellectual origins of certain frames that may affect the authorities' decisions to control information flows and kill dissidents. (original abstract)

W artykule podjęto problem analizy relacji pomiędzy, z jednej strony, prawem państwa do kontroli przepływu informacji w celu zapewnienia bezpieczeństwa a międzynarodowo uznawanymi prawami człowieka, w tym prawa człowieka do publicznego wyrażania poglądów, z drugiej. Przypadkiem, który poddano analizie, jest zamordowanie saudyjskiego dziennikarza Dżamala Chaszukdżi. W artykule wykorzystano metody jakościowej i ilościowej analizy zawartości mediów pod kątem wpływu relacji medialnych dotyczących morderstwa na reputację polityczną Królestwa Arabii Saudyjskiej w wymiarze politycznym i ekonomicznym.
