Support Hamza Kashgari
Journalist and blogger Hamza Kashgari faces the death penalty in Saudi Arabia, because he had written a fictional dialogue on Twitter, in which he addressed the Prophet of Islam as a human equal. Soon after Hamza received death threats from religious fanatics and is still accused of apostasy even though he has withdrawn his tweets meanwhile. In an attempt to protect his life Hamza fled to Malaysia, was arrested in Kuala Lumpur and transferred back to Saudi Arabia. Hamza is currently detained in an institution of the Saudi Ministry of Interior. Please help to save his life!
Here are some petitions demanding action for his immediate and unconditional release:
