Video - Liberal Moroccan Writer Said Nachid: Raif Badawi Is Forced to Pray and Attend Religious Classes in Prison.

Liberal Moroccan writer Said Nachid talked, during a conference of the Adhoc organization of liberal modern thought, held in Rome, about his friend Raif Badawi, who was arrested in 2012 and later sentenced to 10 years in prison and 1,000 lashes for "insulting Islam through electronic channels." Nachid said that in the early days of Badawi's incarceration, when he still had his mobile phone, he used to call him and tell him about the religious guidance one is forced to attend, including mandatory prayers and lessons in the teachings of Ibn Hanbal and Ibn Taymiyya. The video was posted on Adhoc's social media channels on November 13. MEMRI.

A penal court in Saudi Arabia has sentenced a Saudi national to seven-year imprisonment for joining the ranks of ISIS in Syria, and placed a seven-year travel ban on the convict to be enforced after the termination of his jail term, according to Alalam News Network.

The Saudi man, who has injuries in his leg, has been found guilty for ignoring the king’s order and leaving the country without a royal order, joining ISIS and fighting alongside the [terror] group, transferring computer devices to an agent who recruits militants for ISIS and keeping content dangerous to national security in his cell phone.

Five years of the seven-year imprisonment are for the breach of the king’s order and money laundering law, and one year for infringement of the cybercrime law. Hmmm......Islamic law 101, Blogging is worse then being a member of ISIS.

There is no demand but freedom, and Raif Badawi is it's messenger.

Killing for drawing or flogging for blogging in the name of religious morals is becoming a routine for our time. After terrible massacre of brave free thinkers of Charlie Hebdo, another messenger of free speech is facing cruelty of Islam. Saudi arabian blogger Raif Badawi was sentenced for 10 years in jail and 1000 lashes for setting up a secularist website. Officially, Badawi is charged for insulting Islam and showing disobedience to Islamic regime.

Today, after Friday prayer Raif will be brought in front of a mosque where he will receive 50 lashes in front of a public. This religious torture will last for 19 weeks as Raif Badawi was expressing his secular ideas on Internet.

Today, FEMEN activists come to Saudi Arabian embassy in Paris to celebrate Badawi's ideas and braveness with high respect. Topless infidels of FEMEN are giving 50 lashes to the Saudi Arabian representatives as a revenge for attacking humanism in the face of Raif.

The "Kingdom of terror" will not escape from secularists ideas by it's violence, but only will inspire their manifestations. Stop religious torture! Free Raif Badawi! Celebrate his ideas! Hmmm....For those interested the video can be found here.....Just remember the message!

Saudi Arabia publicly flogged blogger and activist Badawi accused of 'insulting Islam.

Saudi Arabia publicly flogged blogger and activist accused of 'insulting Islam, Badawi is due to receive 50 lashes every Friday for 20 weeks.(Independent).

Saudi Arabia has been condemned for publicly flogging liberal blogger and activist Raif Badawi, who was accused of insulting Islam.

Amnesty International confirmed to The Independent that Badawi, who was sentenced to 1,000 lashes, received the first round of 50 in a public flogging after Friday prayers, which it says continue every Friday for 20 weeks.

A witness told the human rights organisation that Badawi was removed from a bus in shackles and taken to a public square in front of the al-Jafali mosque in Jeddah. He was then flogged in front of a crowd and security guards for 15 minutes, before being put back on the bus and driven away.

Amnesty says Badawi, who started the "Free Saudi Liberals" website, was arrested in June 2012 for creating an online forum for public debate and over accusations that he insulted Islam. His website has also been shut down.

Badawi was originally sentenced to seven years in prison and 600 lashes in July last year, but an appeals court overturned the sentence and ordered a retrial - which then earned him a more severe sentence of 1,000 lashes and ten years in prison. Read the full story here.

Saudi Arabia: Sentence of human rights defender Raif Badawi: '50 lashes a week for 20 weeks'.

On 1 September 2014 the Court of Appeal in Jeddah upheld the sentence of human rights defender Raif Badawi. He was sentenced on 7 May 2014 to 10 years in prison, 1000 lashes and a 10 year travel ban to start on expiration of his jail sentence, a ban on using media outlets and a fine of one million Saudi Riyals (about US$266,600).

Raef Badawi is co-founder and editor of the website Liberal Saudi Network, a website and on-line forum created to foster political and social debate in Saudi Arabia. He has been detained since 17 June 2012 in a prison in Briman in Jeddah. His sentence stemmed from the creation of the website and his calls for reforms in the Kingdom.

On 29 July 2013, he was sentenced by the District Court in Jeddah to 7 years and 3 months imprisonment, 600 lashes and the shutting down of the website. On 12 December 2013, the Court of Appeals accepted an appeal of the sentence and sent back the case to the District Court in Jeddah. On 7 May 2014, the District Court in Jeddah, instead of releasing Raef Badawi, imposed a tougher new sentence on him. For further information see previous GCHR appeals: http://gc4hr.org/news/view/464 and http://gc4hr.org/news/view/652) .

The Court has now set out that Raif Badawi should receive the lashes in public outside Al-Jafali mosque. It ordered that there should be no more than 50 lashes per session, with a break of no less than a week between sessions. It is feared that the sentence and first of the lashes will be imposed any day.

The Gulf Centre for Human Rights (GCHR) expresses serious concern at the upholding of the sentence against Raif Badawi, as it is solely related to his legitimate human rights activities. This action by the Court of Appeal is particularly concerning in light of the fact that Saudi Arabia is a member of the UN Human Rights Council as it is a clear attempt to punish and hinder the peaceful work of human rights defenders in Saudi Arabia.Read the full story here.
