Topic Reading-Vol.1155-6/10/2015

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Saudi court upholds blogger's 10 years and 1,000 lashes
What do you consider a harsh punishment? A long imprisonment or capital punishment?
What sort of wrongdoing or illegal conduct do you think deserves such punishment?
In Saudi Arabia where Islam laws are strictly in place, insulting the religious dignity can never be tolerated. One blogger was arrested for the charge through blogging and sentenced a 10-year imprisonment and 1,000 lashes, and the first 50 was given already.
The kingdom has declined all the requests and criticism from the world for this inhumane treatment to its citizen. The blogger hasn’t received the second round of lashes yet. Are they going to give 50 lashes every half year for the remaining of his sentence so that they can keep him alive?
Read what kind of punishment is still legal and intact in this oil-rich kingdom.
