Al Jazeera America - Saudi Arabia’s Supreme Court has upheld a 10-year prison sentence and 1,000 lashes for jailed Saudi blogger Raif Badawi, human rights group Amnesty International said.
Badawi was arrested in 2012 in the city of Jeddah for offenses including setting up the website “Free Saudi Liberals” meant to spark debate and discussion about topics in Saudi society.
In January, Badawi was publicly lashed 50 times, despite widespread international condemnation.
