I seriously didn't expect this. Bos News Life
Saudi Arabia has released Christian blogger Hamoud Saleh Al-Amri who was jailed after openly writing on the Internet about his conversion from Islam to Christianity, rights investigators confirmed Thursday, April 16.
"We are pleased that this brave Christian has been freed," said Open Doors spokesman Klaas Muurling of Netherlands' based Christian advocacy group Open Doors. "For apostasy from Islam, Saudi Arabia imposes the death penalty. It is therefore very special that Hamoud wrote openly on his Website about the way he became a Christian," Muurling added.[...]
Although he was released March 28, the writer has been "banned from travelling outside Saudi Arabia or appearing in media," MEC stressed.
