Saudis free popular blogger

2008-04-27 12:02

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia - A friend of Saudi Arabia's most popular blogger says authorities have released the writer months after arresting him without charge.

Fouad al-Farhan is one of the few Saudi bloggers who uses his real name. His blog discusses freedom, justice, equality and Islamic values - frequently touching on subjects that are sensitive or taboo in Saudi society. After his arrest, a letter was posted on his website saying Saudi authorities were after him for writing about political prisoners.

Ahmad al-Omran, al-Farhan's friend said on Saturday he learned of the release through a text message sent to his mobile phone by al-Farhan's wife.

The 32-year-old Jeddah resident was arrested at his office December 10 after authorities warned him about his online activities.

rudiwaan.joseph says... Michael. You are so right, for as long as fred represent the interfering, bullying, fact twisting israeli and american regimes no nation wii have peace! Once they are done with their dilusional obsession with islam and arabs to will find a new target. They appear to be busy with a modern day 'colonialisn'. They have convinced themselves that they want to see all arabs to be ''free'' and that this allows them to interfere in a sovereign state and tell them what to do! Whilst the UN and Nato sees no reason for military action these two countried will stop at nothing to go to 'war' with who they like to gain the riches of the countries they target' sounds like modern day ''Viking Pirates'' to me' Read the article...
