Request re Raif Badawi in Saudi Arabia [View all]
Last edited Sun May 10, 2015, 03:15 AM - Edit history (1)
Thursday, May 7, is world wide protest/demonstration day for Raif Badawi, the blogger in Saudi Arabia with the sentence for 1000 lashings. He received the first 50 strokes. Protests have kept Saudi Arabia from continuing the punishments, but he is still under the sentence. On Thursday protests/demonstrations are planned at embassies and consulates around the world. Please please email the embassy in D.C. and ask them to lift the sentence. info@saudiembassy.net Thanks, lots.
