Jailed

Fouad Alfarhan is jailed without charge in Saudi Arabia, for 69 days now, for blogging? Although only a few read blogs in third world, States see red.

Boodhooram heard ‘blogging can be a powerful tool’. A tool in democracy is not necessarily handy in autocracy. In religious countries like China, Saudi Arabia, Iran, etc. bloggers have to be very discreet. Bloggers have to be careful when blogging on religious belief, people and parties too. Those who can not arrest can kill, kidnap and kick bloggers in the name of God or Marx or whatever belief.

Power and big money spoil people. Still it is observed that, not very often, streak of humanism flashes in corrupt powerful and ruling maniacs, and there is the hope for Fouad Alfarhan and his family/friends.
