Saudi Arabia: Put Human Rights at the Center of U.S. Foreign Policy - ACTION PHONE CALL & ONLINE PETITIONS

"I desperately want my husband to be home with me and our family, and I know you will continue your work to help make that happen."

In gratitude and hope,

Wife of imprisoned Saudi Arabian activist Raif Badawi


     Raif Badawi started a blog where readers could openly discuss religion, politics and other topics in Saudi Arabia. For this peaceful act, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison and 1,000 lashes. On January 9, the first of these floggings was carried out.
     Your voice is instrumental in urging members of the U.S. Congress to put human rights at the center of U.S. foreign policy. We can push Congress to tell the Saudi Arabian government that not everyone is happy with "business as usual." It is time to end the repression in Saudi Arabia, once and for all.
