Saudi Blogger Raif Badawi Flogged For Insulting Islam
The Associated Press reports that Badawi, who was flogged in public with his hands and feet shackled, remained silent during the punishment of 50 lashes that lasted 15 minutes. The news service quoted an eyewitness who wished to remain anonymous because of the fear of government reprisals.
Amnesty International also confirmed that the flogging occurred, calling it "a vicious act of cruelty."
Badawi was found guilty last year of insulting Islam on Free Saudi Liberals, a website he created, and also ordered to pay about $266,000 in fines. A court originally sentenced him to 600 lashes and seven years in prison, but a judge increased the sentence after an appeal.

Their "Court" said they will give him 50 a week. Hundreds at one time is a death sentence. He may not survive many weeks.
