Zaid Hamid being lashed in Saudi Arabia

[OTTOMAN]

If you would have shown British passport, they would've negotiated with even higher price.

Most likely UK passport Engineer is placed among the highest pay scale ranks in those few organizations.
However, i have worked together with British and American and Japanese we used to joke of this classification a lot.
At the same time, i have seen individuals like to give me more opportunities, respect and company than to those white foreigners.
Somehow, i was compensated in terms of capital and over rated in terms of respect.

Saudi arabia need democracy...Devils in the mecca. A holy place where Holy Prophet PBUH introduced freedom of speech and respect. A Prophet who introduced the democracy under the laws of Islam.

Every Saudi Prince who attempts to visit Pakistan and hunt our precious near extinct animals should be tortured and killed slowly to send a clear message to the ruling junta in Arabia.

Would you not like to know of his crime, before checking probabilities of beheading?

I have not gone through the news article but read in some comments that he criticized the royal family publicly. Isnt it big crime over there to speak against the royal family?

Crime there is to level allegations without evidence. but If you have evidence of murder against king, take it to court and he'll be beheaded.
Regarding the comments... I'm glad to see RAW believe at least some Pakistanis on certain matters and lies against Saudi Arabia sees to be the most common.

Thanks for the clarification. Was he speaking without proof? I believe if he is not going to be beheaded but just lashes, he may have not done something very annoying.

I know nothing of what he was speaking of or what was recovered from him.
I can only guess, if it was simple visa violation, he would be only fined and packed home.
While 8 years prison and lashes hints at sort of serious crime against general order, rather than criticizing any individual.

How many people are there behind the bars for Blasphemy and also how many were killed by the mobs because of their faith?

Islamic countries are all the same, some are more strict.

Why to blame SA when most of the Muslim nations always treats the dissent same way only....Although we, Indian, fight always with Pakistanis, but Pakistan at least is in a better situation that Arabs....In spite of so many differenced, Pakistan although arrested so many small time invaders to Pakistan, like fisher mans, still then on a regular baisis, Pakistan Gov release them....My point is just criticizing the regime should not create such a humiliation and punishment to any citizen...this is simply shows the barbarism and lack of respect for South Asian people by Arab rulers ...Nothing else..



Unfortunate part is there are some Paksitanis who are more Arabs than Pakistanis itself..

Sir zaid hamid is a role model....he should be handed over to Pakistan official...there is no law in Saudi Arabia....its no longer is the holy land...its slave of usa it sells oil and dollars flow in.. 1200 lashes in public its a shame for Pakistan not to even care for a media person, may be the government officials in Pakistan are also corrupt, the Saudi Arabia govt must have paid them so that nobody raises a finger, hope someday Pakistan will have money and respect inshaallah.

Zaid Hamid despite his views is our citizen... for just advocating his beliefs he has been jailed in Saudi. We should try to free him and put pressure on the Saudi government.
