Reporters Without Borders reported the release last week of blogger Fouad al Farhan. He was imprisoned in Saudi Arabia since December, 2007 for posting an article on his blog discussing the “advantages” and “disadvantages” of being a Muslim.
Fouad al Farhan, 32, was one of the first Saudi bloggers to dispense with a pseudonym on his site. He was also the first cyber-dissident to be jailed in Saudi.
It's about freaking time!
