Basically, a Saudi lawyer who represented a raped woman - sentenced to 90 lashes for having been raped - is getting jail time and possible disbarrment for speaking to Saudi media about the case. His client's sentence has been increased to 200 lashes and six months in jail, also because she spoke to the media.
Someone remind me why this country is on our list of GWOT best friends?
