The Saudi godfather is back

Posted on April 27, 2008

Saudi blogger Fouad Al Farhan has been released from prison after more than four months away from family and friends.

He is a friend and colleague (more on Fouad here.)

The father of Saudi blogging is back, but I wonder how willing he will be to continue writing critically in his repressive regime.
