Raif Bandari's fate

Protest in front of the Saudi embassy in The Netherland.

After the Saudi citizen, Raif Bandari created a social media and a forum to discuss about the KSA political flaws, the blogger has been sentenced to 10 years in prison and 1000 lashes.

His wife, Ensaf Bandari who seeked asylum in Canada along with the couple three children has made an appeal both the the international community and to the Saudi goverment to end her husband punishment.

The 31 year old man, is due to recieve 50 lashes per week and the first 50 lashes was given after the friday prayer in front of Al-Jalafi mosque in the port city of Jeddah.

His punishment was to be given after he criticised Saudi Arabia most powerful clerics on his blog. After his last whipping, he has been taken to a prison clinic due to his sustained injuries, the doctor recomended to not whip him until another week has passed due to that his wounds has not been healing properly.

UK's Prime Minister, David Cameroon has stated that Raif Bandari's case is an absolute disgrace and that he should be pardoned and released from jail. The United Kingdom has also been accused by Amnesty International to not do anymore action due to business interest in the region and "oil" inside the highly conservative kingdom.
