update on Raif Badawi
The blogger in Saudi Arabia ==
The supreme court of Saudi Arabia has upheld the sentence given to Raif. This means he is subject immediately to a continuation of the sentence of 1,000 lashes. He has had the first round several months ago of 50 lashes. The sentence is to be given 50 lashes a week. Also no traveling for ten years after all the lashes are given plus a fine of approx. $266,000 in USD.
Please email the Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Washington, D.C. and ask that the sentence be cancelled and Raif allowed to go free. He is a prisoner of conscience and has done nothing wrong by international human rights standards. Thanks.
I appreciate your contribution to continuing to keep this case alive. In my mind, this is death by torture.
