Fouad al-Farhan STILL BEING DETAINED in SAUDI ARABIA??

Something prompted me to try to find out if the detention of the Saudi blogger had really only lasted a few days, as originally reported that it would. When I Googled his name, I was overwhelmed by various links to sites demanding his release.

I leave it to you, dear reader, to decide for yourself which sites are genuine, and which are just using his cause to grind their own ax.

I just know that for me personally, I am deeply moved that something as simple as expressing his own views about life and politics in his own country has gotten this young man into so much trouble.

I pray for his family, and for his quick release from jail.

We take so much for granted!!!!
