The lashings a Saudi blogger have been postponed on medical grounds, leading to fears that he may not be able to endure the beatings when his punishment resumes.
The prominent blogger was reportedly able to avoid the lashings today when a doctor said that he was not physically well enough to withstand the ordeal, as the wounds from his previous lashing had not yet healed.
Mr Badawi was sentenced to 10 years in prison and 1,000 lashes for insulting Islam and establishing a secular website, Free Saudi Liberals.
His wife, Ensaf, who now lives in Canada with the couple's three young children, is concerned that her husband is too weak to endure the lashings.
