Saudi Arabia urged to spare man sentenced to death over Facebook post
In July 2023, Mohammed Al Ghamdi, a retired Saudi school teacher, was sentenced to death over his comments on multiple social media platforms, according to the United Nations.
Al Ghamdi's ruling was overturned, and he was sentenced to 30 years in prison, according to ALQST for human rights, an independent non-governmental organisation defending and promoting human rights in Saudi Arabia.
The 24-year-old migrant worker is facing the death penalty in Saudi Arabia after an appellate court found him guilty of blasphemy against Islam and the Prophet Muhammad over a comment he made on Facebook.
