The case of Raif Badawi has garnered international headlines and global outrage.
Badawi started a blog called “Free Saudi Liberals” in 2008 to encourage discussion about Islam, particularly the intrusion of the nation’s religious police in Saudis’ personal lives. He was officially charged with “adopting liberal thought,” “founding a liberal website,” and “insulting Islam.”
