A Saudi court jailed a Lebanese man for six years and sentenced him to 300 lashes after convicting him of encouraging a Saudi woman to convert to Christianity.
The same court sentenced a Saudi man convicted in the same case to two years in prison and 200 lashes for having helped the young woman flee the country.
The United Nation’s 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights calls for the freedom of thought, conscience and religion.
Therefore it is the duty of the international community to condemn the KSA’s flagrant violations of the most basic of human rights, and we urge you to join us in calling for action to be taken by all those in positions of influence including the United Nations, NGOs such as Amnesty International, Christian organizations, the Vatican, the Maronite Church, the Lebanese Government and Saudi Arabia.
