[quote=jsteele]http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jan/08/saudi-arabia-blogger-raif-badawi-public-flogging "A Saudi blogger who was sentenced last May to 10 years in prison and 1,000 lashes will be publicly flogged for the first time after Friday prayers outside a mosque in the Red Sea coastal city of Jeddah, according to a person close to his case." "Raif Badawi was sentenced on charges related to accusations that he insulted Islam on a liberal online forum he had created. He was also ordered by the Jeddah criminal court to pay a fine of 1m Saudi riyals, or about $266,000." Everyone who has been polishing off their free speech credentials should get behind this guy. Of course because Saudi Arabia is a trusted US ally and responsible for the low gas prices we are currently enjoying, he is unlikely to find much support. [/quote]
