Saudi Supreme Court Overturns Death Sentence for Sri Lankan Migrant Worker

World7 days ago

Anojan Sivarasa, a 27 year old citizen of Sri Lanka, is no longer facing the capital penalty after a judicial reversal in Saudi Arabia. The nation's Supreme Court overturned the death sentence of the migrant worker who was convicted of blasphemy in September for a Facebook post insulting the Prophet Muhammad.

Sivarasa was arrested in July and subsequently deleted the offensive comment and apologized, though those actions did not initially prevent his conviction. It remains unclear whether the court ruling will result in his immediate release or if he will face further legal proceedings.
