WASHINGTON - U.S. Vice President Mike Pence on Thursday called out ally Saudi Arabia for the suppression of religious liberties and urged it to release Raif Badawi, a blogger imprisoned for insulting Islam.
“All four of these men have stood strong in defense of religious liberty, despite unimaginable pressure, and the American people stand with them,” Pence said, “The United States calls upon the governments of Eritrea, Mauritania, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia to respect the freedom of conscience and let these men go.”
The CIA has determined with “medium to high confidence” that the Saudi crown prince, commonly known by his initials MbS and considered de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia, ordered the killing, U.S. government sources have said.Badawi, who set up the “Free Saudi Liberals” website, was arrested in June 2012 for offences which included cyber crime and disobeying his father - a crime in Saudi Arabia.
