Saudi Arabia upholds sentence for blogger Badawi - Al Jazeera English
Ten-year prison sentence and 1,000 lashes for blogger Raif Badawi upheld by Saudi Supreme Court, Amnesty reports.

Saudi Arabia's Supreme Court has upheld a 10-year prison sentence and 1,000 lashes for the jailed blogger Raif Badawi, according to the human rights group Amnesty International.

Ensaf Haidar, Badawi's wife, told Al Jazeera that the case was under review for several months and his family were "shocked by the decision".

"We had had some hope before that maybe he would get his sentence reduced," she said. "I am very sad about his and very worried for Raif."

She said she believed "they will start lashing him again soon".

Badawi was arrested in 2012 in the city of Jeddah, and later sentenced to seven years in jail and 600 lashes for setting up the website "Free Saudi Liberals" and for allegedly insulting Islam.

An appeals court later overturned the ruling and ordered a retrial. In May 2014, in addition to a harsher sentence, the court ordered Badawi to pay a $266,000 fine.

In January, Badawi was lashed 50 times in public, despite widespread international outrage and calls for clemency from human rights groups.

Saudi Arabia later postponed his public lashings, supposed to be conducted weekly after Friday prayers, on medical grounds, according to Amnesty.

The United Nations joined a chorus of countries, including the United States, that called for Badawi to be pardoned.

Raif's wife is a runaway b!tch, her lies remind us of the Iranian propaganda machine, you already posted the video yourself and saved us the trouble, so unless his skin is made of jelly then how on earth does he even has wounds from that tapping on his back? The propose of lashing in Sharia is public humiliation and not to cause harm.

Does that not make him murtad? ''If'' he is then why wasn't Islamic punishment meted on him?

Note: I am not doing takfir, I don't know anything about the case and neither am I a Qadi. I'm just going by the statement he insulted Islam.

Oh don't be so melodramatic! He got away with it.

If he is an apostate he should be given the death penalty. I hope KSA didn't succumb to any western pressure and lightened the sentence. No matter how polarizing views , muslims around the world hold abt the ruling family of KSA , its a fact that KSA is the only country in the muslim world that have institutions for producing qualified Islamic jurists. While majority of the post-colonial muslim world is literally 100% secular liberal states and as such in total ruins and dysfunctional.
