For the seventh consecutive week, Saudi Arabian blogger Raif Badawi
— who was jailed for starting an online forum and peacefully expressing
his beliefs — was not flogged last Friday. This moment is critical. It's the one in which Saudi authorities may think that by halting the floggings momentarily, the world will forget about Raif.
But you and I know that's not the case.
Tell Saudi authorities that the world is watching — and that we won't stop watching until Raif walks free.
Raif was sentenced to receive 50 lashes each Friday for another 19 weeks. Saturday marked 50 days since he received the first of these floggings. Join me in taking 50,000 more actions to see that Raif and other Prisoners of Conscience in Saudi Arabia are freed and that the floggings stop.
