Beaten for blogging: #Free Speech Stories
16 January 2015 Last updated at 03:06 GMT
Update 16 January: the latest round of lashings has been postponed, and the case has been referred to the Saudi Supreme Court by the king's office.
In the first of BBC Trending's #FreeSpeechStories, we meet the wife of a liberal blogger being punished in Saudi Arabia for "insulting Islam".
Last week he was whipped 50 times, and this week he was supposed to be beaten again. Raif Badawi has been sentenced to a total of 1,000 lashes and 10 years in prison for offences ranging from cybercrime to disobeying his father and insulting Islam on his "Saudi Liberal Network" website.
On Friday, Amnesty International said the latest round of lashings would be postponed for medical reasons. And the BBC has learned that the case has been referred to the Saudi Supreme Court for review.
Badawi's name was trending again on Twitter this week. His wife Ensaf Haidar told the BBC her family was living in "perpetual anxiety".
