1000 coups de fouet parce que j'ai ose parler librement (1000 lashes - because I say what I think)

Abstract

Translated from the Arabic (Arabie Saoudite)by France Meyer. Many of the texts of Raif Badawi, banned in Saudi Arabia, have been destroyed. Among those still available, fifteen have been selected for this compilation with the help of Ensaf Hai-Dar, his wife. The majority appeared between 2010 and 2012 on sites Al-Bilad, al-Hewar al-Mutamaddin and al-Jazeera. For two the exact date of publication could not be restored. A small number of passages evoking a specific context difficult to understand for a Western reader were slightly shortened and are identified by (...). The quotations from Koran in the original text and which for reasons of security have been removed in this edition are identified by (*). The footnotes were written either by the German translator, Constantin Schreiber, a German journalist who supervised the original edition published by Ullstein Verlag
