Saudis "to review", whether or not to, continue with the flogging, of blogger Raif Badawi BBC News, January 16
2015 Saudi Arabian authorities arrested Blogger; Raif Badawi, on June 17, 2012. They charged him with insulting Islam and creating the “Saudi Arabian Liberals” website for social and political debate.
The Criminal Court; pronounced a sentence of 10 years in prison, 1000 lashes and a fine of 1 million riyals (about $290,000 CDN).
After Raif serves a decade in jail, he is also forbidden to travel for the following decade and from participating in the media.
Send a message to Ambassador for Saudi Arabia, Naif Bandir Alsudairy.
Tell the Ambassador; that this is way too harsh a punishment. That he should just exile Raif Badawi, his Sister and Brother-In-Law.
Who can go to Canada, where his family already are. I'm sure; Mr Badawi, would promise never to come back to Saudi Arabia.
This is a much better solution. One much more acceptable to the World. Who are watching.
