VRIJHEID VOOR RAIF BADAWI Belactie Telefoneer naar de Saoedische ambassade in Brussel op het nummer +32 2 649 20 44 (tussen 9.00 en 15.00 uur) Mogelijk wordt er niet altijd opgenomen. Blijf proberen. Krijg je iemand aan de lijn, wees dan beleefd en correct. Zeg dat je het volgende bericht hebt voor de ambassadeur, de heer Abdulrahman Sulaiman O. Alahmed. Een aantal tips: I am calling you to talk about Raif Badawi. He is serving a ten year prison sentence for his blogging activities in Saudi Arabia. Furthermore he is sentenced to 1000 lashes, 50 lashes for 20 weeks. He received the first 50 lashes Friday the 9th of January. Raif Badawi is a prisoner of conscience detained solely for peacefully exercising his right to freedom of expression. I urge the Saudi King to: - Release Raif Badawi immediately and unconditionally. - Ensure that his conviction and sentence are cancelled. - Stop carrying out the punishment of flogging, as this violates the prohibition on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment under international law.
