Ashraf Fayadh: Saudi Arabia to ‚sue‘ Twitter user describing Palestinian poet‘s death sentence as ‚Isis-like‘

Saudi Arabia will sue any Twitter user who compares the Kingdom’s recent decision to execute a poet to punishments handed down by Isis. Ashraf Fayadh, a 35-year-old Palestinian poet, was sentenced to death for apostasy – renouncing one’s faith – by a court in Abha on 17 November, according to documents seen by Human Rights Watch.
