CANADA-POLITICS-BADAWI
Ensaf Haidar(C), the wife of the Saudi Blogger Raef Badawi, holds a vigil in Montreal, Quebec on January 13, 2015 urging Saudi Arabia to free her husband who was flogged in public January 9, 2015 near a mosque in the Red Sea city of Jeddah, receiving 50 lashes for "insulting Islam". In September, a Saudi court upheld a sentence of 10 years in prison and 1,000 lashes for Badawi, and he is expected to have 20 weekly whipping sessions until his punishment is complete. The United States, Amnesty International and Reporters Without Borders have denounced the flogging as a horrific form of punishment, and said Badawi was exercising his right to freedom of expression. Witnesses said that Badawi, 30, was flogged after the weekly Friday prayers near Al-Jafali mosque as a crowd of worshippers looked on. AFP PHOTO/CLEMENT SABOURIN
