{PBJFlorida} ACT NOW: Saudi Blogger Raif Badawi to be flogged AGAIN tomorrow

Hi everyone,

Amnesty has learned that Raif is to be flogged again tomorrow.

-->Please help us generate another round of pressure on the Saudi Embassy in DC by doing these 3 things today and tomorrow:

1) Call the Saudi Arabian Embassy in Washington D.C. at (202) 342-3800. Press 2 for English, then 0 for the operator. (Or, if that doesn't work, press 3 for Public Affairs or 6 for the press office)

Sample call script:
Hi, my name is _____________, I'm calling from [City, State] about Saudi Arabian blogger Raif Badawi. I ask that embassy officials act now to ensure that he is not publicly flogged again. Raif if a Prisoner of Conscience, and should be immediately and unconditionally released. I am also disturbed that the Saudi Authorities are using flogging as punishment, as it is a violation of international law.

2) Take and share the online petition at http://www.amnestyusa.org/stop_public_flogging_of_raif

3) Tweet @SaudiEmbassyUSA using the hashtags #FreeRaif #Istandwithraif and this URL http://www.amnestyusa.org/stop_public_flogging_of_raif

--> Please let me know if you make a call so that we can keep a tally.

For background, here's is Amnesty's latest press release: http://act.amnestyusa.org/ea-action/action?ea.client.id=1839&ea.campaign.id=34661&ea.tracking.id=ActivismLevels_UrgentActionNetwork~Country_SaudiArabia~MessagingCategory_CensorshipandFreeSpeech~MessagingCategory_PrisonersandPeopleatRisk-PrisonersofConscience

Please note that Amnesty sections around the world are pressuring Saudi embassies in their countries as well. Together, we can use the power of collective action to free Raif to his wife and children in Canada.

Thank you for taking action with us!
