One of his crimes was “disobeying his father”! “Saudi Arabia plans to delay the public flogging of a rights activist on medical grounds, Amnesty International said on Thursday, raising the possibility that Riyadh may be trying to quietly drop the punishment that has drawn international rebuke. Raif Badawi, a blogger and founder of the ‘Free Saudi Liberals’ website, was sentenced last year to 10 years in jail, a fine of 1 million riyals ($US267,000) and 1000 lashes. He was arrested in June 2012 for offences which included of insulting Islam, cyber crime and disobeying his father - a crime in Saudi Arabia.”
