US ally Saudi Arabia sentences Palestinian to DEATH for renouncing Islam

[Lion Heart 15,041]

Saudi Arabia has sentenced a Palestinian poet to death for renouncing his Muslim faith.

Adam Coogle, Middle East researcher for Human Rights Watch, told Reuters he had read the trial documents, which make it "very clear he has been sentenced to death for apostasy."

Fayadh was arrested by the country's religious police in 2013. In 2014, he was tried in court and sentenced to four years in prison and 800 lashes. But the verdict was appealed, and another judge handed Fayadh the death sentence.

While Saudi Arabia is a major U.S. ally against violent Islamic extremists, its justice system is based on an extreme interpretation of Sharia law.

800 lashes.... seriously, how long will the US pretend to ignore what their oil suppliers are funding with their money?

I really hope solar energy gets the attention it deserves...

Poor man, hope he somehow manages to escape that sentence
