In May 2014, the Saudi Arabian government sentenced Raif Badawi to 10 years in prison and 1,000 lashes. He was convicted of insulting Islam through his writings and on his website, which was set up to encourage public debate. On Friday 9 January 2015, Raif received the first 50 of 1,000 painful lashes. An eyewitness said that he was silent, but you could tell that he was in real pain. Raif is now due to receive another 50 lashes, probably every Friday for 19 weeks. This can’t be allowed to continue. - Via Nicole Bieske
