Saudi Arabia: Blogger Fouad Alfarhan Released

from Global Voices Online by Sami Ben Gharbia

Prominent Saudi blogger Fouad Alfarhan was freed today. He is back home in Jeddah after 137 days in custody.

Checking both the linked site Alfarhan and Free Fouad do not yet confirm this announcement but hopes are high.

In Saudi Arabia, there is no guarantee that you won't be arrested because of your frankness and speaking your mind on your blog.

We blog because we care.
