10 Years in Jail & 1,000 Lashes: In Conversation with Ensaf Haidar

In June 2012, the creator of the Free Saudi Liberals blog Raif Badawi was accused of apostasy and insulting Islam, and was sentenced to 10 years in prison and 1 000 lashes by the General Court of Jeddah. Vice meets with Badawi's wife, Ensaf Haidar, who sought refuge in Sherbrooke QC with her 3 children in 2013. They discuss the message her husband was trying to get across in his writings, the efforts made by both the Quebec and Canadian government to secure Badawi's release, and the life she left behind in Saudi Arabia.
