best wishes for Saudi Arabians from a Chinese citizen who hopes the same thing will happen in China where basic human rights are violated too.

I’m so excited to see something of this caliber coming into the hands of the Saudi people. It has been proved time and time again that the use of nonviolence towards oppressive situations leaves the most amount of resonance among other human beings.

One question I would like to ask would be why a hunger strike among all the possibilities? Do you think this will be the best way to grab the attention of the government? Also, I live in Philadelphia and this is my only outlet to this situation currently. What kid of media coverage has this gained in Saudi Arabia? Do you think that this will inspire others to use other nonviolent acts to stand up for human rights and social liberties?

Human rights seem to be a continuous topic on your blog. Do you think that your posts about this topic are becoming more frequent because these issues are becoming much more frequent around the Kingdom?

I think what you are writing about is more than just words, it becomes an outlet where people can connect without having the fear of being watched.

They should get a fatwa from the grand mufti concerning their situation.
