Raif Badawi

Raif Badawi: Naif Bin Bandir AlSudairy sent a letter to the Speaker of the national assembly last month regarding Raif Badawi, expressing his government strong surprise and dismay at what is being said and written about the case, according to Metro News. Badawi, 32, is not a Canadian citizen, but his wife and children fled Saudi Arabia in 2012 and settled in Sherbrooke in 2013 and Quebec politicians insist they re staying the course in their efforts to see a jailed blogger freed even as the Saudi ambassador to Canada warns his country won t accept meddling in its internal affairs. Quebec politicians brushed off the comments Wednesday and said they remain committed to Badawi being reunited with his relatives in Quebec. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
