Saudi Arabia to EXECUTE dad for voicing an opinion - YOU can save his life
Saudi Arabia is a controlled by a BRUTAL DICTATORSHIP, calling themselves Royalty. There is no such thing as freedom of speech in this regime and the penalty for thinking and expressing an opinion is apparently 10 years in gaol and 1000 lashes BUT this may be upgraded to the death penalty.
Raif Badawi, voiced his opinion on a blog, just like this one and has been gaoled and lashed but it appears that he may now be executed for this heinous crime!?!

It takes two minutes ..... is someone's life worth 2 minutes of your time
If you think Indonesia is ROUGH on DRUGS..... Saudi Arabia is beyond belief - executing someone for expressing an opinion on a blog. That is all of us gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hadn't even heard of Raif Badawi before so thanks Mussitate for putting this post up.
However on doing a bit of reading up on the case realise this seems to be a situation going from very bad - with his current brutal punishment being 10 years jail, a $300,000 fine, and 1,000 lashes devolving to the nighmarishly final outcome of his execution triggered by the possibility/probability of his retrial on the charge of 'Apostasy' - but unsure at this stage if this retrial has yet actually taken place and that his execution is imminent.....but am open to further info on this decision.
But barbaric that someone who expresses an opinion should have to endure such punishments and of course he should be released immediately.....
