Brief reprieve...

...Saudi Arabia postpones flogging of blogger Raif Badawi
According to Amnesty International, which has adopted Badawi as a prisoner of conscience, the married father-of-three was removed from his jail cell on Friday morning and taken to the prison clinic for a health check. The doctor concluded that the wounds from last week’s lashings had not yet healed properly and Badawi would be unable to withstand more. He recommended that the flogging be postponed until next week.
