"Saudi Arabia is under mounting international pressure over the blogger Raif Badawi, whose public flogging has been postponed for a second consecutive week after a medical assessment.
... a medical committee said he should not undergo a second round of 50 lashes on health grounds.
Badawi, 31, was sentenced last May to 10 years’ imprisonment and 1,000 lashes – 50 at a time-over 20 weeks – and fined 1m Saudi riyals (£175,000). He has been held since mid-2012, and his Free Saudi Liberals website, established to encourage debate on religious and political matters in Saudi Arabia, is closed."
