After ten long years, Raif Badawi, a prominent human rights advocate and founder of Saudi Free Liberals Forum is finally free after being arrested in 2012. In 2008, Badawi started the Saudi Free Liberals Forum, an online blog where members debated the political and religious affairs in Saudi Arabia. In 2012, Badawi was arrested in Jeddah and was charged with "insulting Islam through electronic channels." He was initially punished with 1,000 lashes. In 2013, the punishment was extended to 7 years of imprisonment and 600 more lashes. However, in 2014, the Saudi Supreme Court upheld the initial sentence of 1,000 lashes and extended Badawi's sentence to 10 years in prison. He was also fined more than $260,000 and a 10-year long travel ban was imposed on him. Ensaf Haidar, Raif’s wife, has been living in Quebec, Canada, along with their three children since Raif’s arrest. Ensaf told Agence France-Presse (AFP) that her husband called her about his release. Reporters Without Borders (RFS) tweeted that they will ensure that he will be able to rejoin his family in Canada despite his 10-year travel ban.
