Saudi Arabia. Saudi A-FUCKIN’-rabia! It wasn’t bad enough they arrested, tried and convicted Raif Badawi for ‘Thought Crime’, but this past week they picked up his sister, Samar Badawi… along with her two-year-old daughter(!) for aprox 24 hours and housed in the same prison as Raif during that time. The word has been that she was arrested for posting on the Twitter account of Raif’s lawyer, Waleed Abulkhair.
Did I mention this was on Raif’s Birthday, too?
Is this political backlash at Raif and his family for continuing to be outspoken critics of the government and Islam? Is this a scare tactic to get Raif to stop a hunger strike? Is this the nonsensical ravings of a lunatic mind?
