Last week we were waiting to hear that Raif Badawi was released from prison. That was… “delayed”. During this past week his wife, Ensaf, reported they had a phone call and he was released from jail. So, HAPPY DAY, right?

Well, not so fast…

That much-anticipated and much-reported announcement all came from a singular source, without any independent verification at the time.

Was it “Skepticism” or “Cynicism” that kept us from celebrating the moment?
