Freedom for Badawi !
Saudi Arabia is one of the most inhumane regimes of the world - by far. Religious terror, torture, most stinking sexual repression and contempt of women as well as the barbaric genital mutilation are customary practice in that medieval oil monarchy. But under the atomic shield of US imperialism and the pampering policy of its European offshoots the Gulf despots are acting more brazenly than ever: in spite of broad international protest they announced in the middle of October 2016 to continue the whipping of the prisoner Raif Badawi, suspended for a short time, excluding the public.
Raif Badawi, imprisoned under inhumane conditions, was sentenced to ten years of imprisonment, to a penalty of 200.000 Euro and to the humiliating and life threatening bodily punishment of 1.000 lashes of the whip five years ago,because he publicly advocates democracy, secularism and equal rights for both sexes.
We urgently call upon you to protest against those despisable, utmost barbaric practices of the Saudi medieval regime as well as against the repulsive complicity of the Western governments. Furthermore, those Western governments are demanded to speak up for the immediate release of Raif Badawi, also giving teeth to their demand by sanctions, that they usually do not hesitate to impose against states such as Russia or Syria.
