I sent the following email

To whom it may concern

Raif Badawi, a blogger in Saudi Arabia, is under a sentence for 1000 lashings. He has already received the first 50 strokes, which has set back the perception of Saudi Arabia as a country which other governments would like to start to do business or to increase existing business relations. Additionally, such a perception discourages visits for recreation as well as business meetings at the country's premier locations..

Many in the modern era regard lashings as inhumane.

As a fellow human being, I am begging Saudi Arabia to lift this sentence and to begin a reasoned process of reforming court sentences to exclude physical punishment.

Regards,

"Android3.14's real name"
