Mr Badawi will reportedly be flogged weekly until he has received 1,000 lashes



A Saudi Arabian blogger has been publicly flogged after being convicted of cybercrime and insulting Islam, reports say.

Raif Badawi, who was sentenced to 1,000 lashes and 10 years in jail, was flogged 50 times. The flogging will be carried out weekly, campaigners say.

Mr Badawi, the co-founder of a now banned website called the Liberal Saudi Network, was arrested in 2012.

Rights groups condemned his conviction and the US appealed for clemency.

Ni ujinga tu, kila mtu ana haki yake ya kuona vitu tofauti na kusema yale yaliyopitwa na wakati. If others perceive that as insults then wanakuwa wanaogopa kusikia ukweli au hawataki kupevuka akili. Jamaa wanamuonea tu.
