If you haven't followed the story of Raif Badawi he's a Saudi blogger convicted of crimes against Islam and the Saudi regime. Badawi's sentence of 1000 lashes and 10 years in prison drew international condemnation. After Badawi's first round of 50 lashes, further rounds were postponed, at first for medical reasons, then for unknown reasons. This postponement gave Badawi's supporters hope that international pressure was softening the Saudi government's position, and clemency might be granted. Now, The Independent is reporting that Saudi judges are considering reopening apostasy charges against Badawi. If convicted on those charges he would face the death penalty.
