Just a quick update on the Hamza Kashgari case since many people have been asking: The young man is now in detention, his family visited him and he is reportedly in high spirits and being treated respectfully. Several sites and petitions have been set up to support him and call for his release.
Prominent human rights lawyer Abdul-Rahman al-Lahem has announced that he will defend Kashgari, arguing that he will push for this case to be handled by a committee in the information ministry instead of a Sharia court.
Meanwhile, several people on the right are claiming that Hamza is a member what they believe is a “sleeping cell” to spread atheism among Saudi youth. Al-Hayat has a thinly sourced story saying public prosecutors are likely to summon people that supported or agreed with Kashgari, which opened the door widely for something like a witch hunt.

Its a good thing he isnt in europe. All he will get here is a sham trial followed by a pardon from the king after he shows remorse.
Unlike john galliano which even after apologizing for a rant while being drunk can still be convicted in france of 6 months in jail and 100,000 fine.
If only saudi would be as strict as europe, we would have a lot less crime and riff raff.
