Briefly: Sending birthday greetings and spotted this on the newsfeed. With thanks to Adrian Lea: Good news! Reports from Saudi Arabia suggest that, following the earlier suspension of the flogging of Raif Badawi on medical grounds, the Saudi king has referred his case back to the Saudi Supreme Court. This follows a stunning silence from international leaders on this issue, but a vigorous online campaign, largely run by Amnesty International, to get the sentence overturned. Its only a suspension of sentence, at present, but it shows that even repressive regimes like the Saudis can be embarrassed into action by an international outcry.bbc/news/world-middle-east-30856403
