A judge in Saudi Arabia has proposed that imprisoned blogger Raif Badawi who had been sentenced to 7 years in jail and 600 eyelashes for violating the nation's anti-cybercrime law be tried before a higher court on a demand of apostasy, which will bring the demise penalty upon certainty, based on Badawi's wife.
Badawi's partner Ensaf Haidar originally claimed on Saturday that her hubby have been sentenced to demise, CNN reports. Because it turned out later, a judge recommended that the blogger be tried for the offense of denouncing Islam, or apostasy. Apostasy bears the demise penalty in Saudi Arabia, based on Amnesty International.
