On March 12th, the Saudi Arabia court confirmed a 10year travel ban for the human rights activist and blogger Raif Badawi. Badawi was arrested in 2012 and jailed for ten years for charges of "insulting Islam." He was also known for his bravery in openly criticizing religious institutions in Saudi Arabia, accusing them of confining the people in a "circle of faith and fear." He was released from prison after 10 years on March 11th. A Saudi ministry official explained that the travel ban is an extension of Badawi's sentence and will not be lifted “unless a (royal) pardon is issued." Amnesty International declared that they will "actively work to have any conditions lifted." Raif’s wife and children are currently residing in Canada eagerly waiting to be reunited. The province of Quebec has put Badawi on a "priority list of potential immigrants for humanitarian reasons." On top of a tenyear travel ban, Badawi was also fined one million Saudi riyals (over a quarter million USD). A GoFundMe campaign () has been set up to help cover the cost of the penalty fine and to bring Badawi and his family closer to “live together again, in freedom and safety.”
