Saudi blogger Raif Badawi earned a reprieve from his scheduled flogging on Friday after it was postponed because the wounds from his first 50 lashes hadn’t sufficiently healed.

Badawi has been sentenced to 10 years in prison and 1,000 lashes over 20 weeks for a blog criticizing Saudi Arabia’s clerics.
