4 днів томуA 24-year-old Sri Lankan migrant worker, Anojan Sivarasa, has been sentenced to death in Saudi Arabia for blasphemy over a Facebook comment insulting the Prophet Muhammad. Sivarasa deleted the comment and posted an apology, but screenshots were sent to his employer, leading to his arrest in July.
