saudi arabia is one of the most repressive countries in the world. they behead, torture and treat women as chattel. their wahabi cult gave rise to al qaeda.
5. Amnesty
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (01.26.15)
There is a custom in some places of giving an amnesty on the death of the monarch. In the cities of refuge there was an amnesty on the death of the Cohane Gadol. Saudi was represented in the Paris March of Freedom of Speech, while giving a blogger ten years in prison and 1,000 lashes for criticising the religious police. For the sake of good will with the civilised world let the new Saudi King grant an amnesty for this poor blogger so he can leave Saudi and join his family.
