Value Your Freedom

I am so thankful that I can write on my blog. I can write whatever I want without repercussion from anyone. I am especially grateful that I have freedom of speech.

I recently read an online story about a Saudi blogger who was jailed for speaking his mind. In January, a ministry spokesman said al-Farhan was arrested December 10 “because he violated the regulations of the kingdom.” They said he would be released quickly if he signed a statement saying he apologized for his statements. He denied their request. In an e-mail posted on al-Farhan’s Web site after his arrest, he told friends that he faced arrest for supporting 10 reform advocates the Saudi government accused of backing terrorism. blogs at alfarhan.org, is one of the few Saudi Web commentators to use his own name, according to the U.S.-based Committee to Protect Journalists.

You can read the entire article at CNN online. Saudi blogger freed from jail colleague says.
