Saudi Blogger's Wounds Delay Next 50 Rounds Of Lashes

Saudi  Blogger's Wounds Delay Next 50 Rounds Of Lashes - newser.com

Excerpt from this article:

"A Saudi Arabian blogger and rights activist was set to receive his second set of 50 lashes today, but the flogging has been delayed. Raif Badawi, whose crime was creating a blog perceived as a slight to Islam, got his first 50 lashes last Friday, and Saudi Arabia planned to give him 50 each Friday until he reaches a total of 1,000—but a doctor examined him and "concluded that the wounds had not yet healed properly and that he would not be able to withstand another round of lashes at this time,"
-----------------------------------------

Maybe the Nobel Prize committee can take away Barack Obama's Nobel prize and award it to Raif Badawi. Unfortunately, the Saudi government will probably kill him before he would have a chance to enjoy it!
