Let him leave the country
From the Raif Badawi Foundation:
As of today, we received from a private source the sad news concerning the fact that the Saudi government will resume the lashing punishment against M. Raif Badawi.
Our source is the same that informed us about the first 50 lashes M. Raif Badawi received in a public place on January 9, 2015. Our understanding of the information is that another series of lashes punishment will take place this time inside the prison.
We kindly ask the Saudi government and we pledge the Crown Prince Mohammed Ben Nayef Al Saoud, first deputy Prime minister and minister of interior and the Prince Mohammed Ben Salmane Al Saoud, second vice premier minister, to stop the inhuman punishment. At the same time we ask them to deprive M. Raif Badawi of his Saudi Citizenship and let him leave the country for Quebec (Canada) and be reunited with his family.
Depriving Raif Badawi of his Saudi citizenship would be highly problematic because the pusillanimous canadian government led by the preening Trudeau has AFAIK declined so far to give Raif either canadian citizenship or permanent resident status. Reason? bad for business when Canada is selling billions of armoured vehicles to KSA and is afraid of losing business for Bombardier and other canadian corporations.
IAC: KSA does not recognise dual nationalities. Anyone who threatens the KSA ruling family’s iron grip on the nation, however innocently, must be made an example. The appalling laws in KSA seem to me to be less about religion per se than about enforcing a rigid control over the population. There is no difference between KSA and Daesh in either intention or method.
