Amnesty International is reporting Saudi Arabia has postponed the scheduled flogging of jailed activist Raif Badawi. Badawi was arrested in 2012 after setting up a website for political and social debate. He was sentenced to 1,000 lashes — 20 batches of 50 lashings each after Friday prayers. Today’s lashings were reportedly postponed for medical reasons.
