    The Saudi govt can't beat him because of the public outcry, so now they will kill him instead. What a bunch of bastards

    Please share Ensaf’s call to US authorities to #FreeRaif and help him come home to his family!

    What a despicable act on the part of a government which adamantly needs to prove that it is an enemy of freedom of speech and press. Respect for differences of opinion is sacred in Islam, but not to the Saudi government. Ben Bortin

      There was just a snippit of video showing the final 3 or 4 hits, still can be found on youtube. A photo of the scene has never surfaced, although it's reported that over 500 people witnessed the punishment. The police at the scene apparently confiscated any cell phone cameras they saw! Photo of scene would be very enlightening i imagine.

    What is happening to Raif Badawi ? Is he still a priority for Amnesty International? Or does his wife stand alone in fighting for his freedom? I check this website frequently but hear nothing. What can I as a US citizen do to help this family? Please respond. With thanks.

      Hi Bevan,

      Thank you for your comment! We are actively campaigning for Raif Badawi's immediate and unconditional release. Just this past Friday, as part of our "Get on the Bus" campaign, we held a rally outside the Saudi Arabian Consulate General to put pressure on Raif Badawi's and Waleed Abu al Khair's release. To take action, please follow this link: amn.st/6012BXpUp Your letters, emails, and calls to authorities make a difference!
