Ahmad Al-Shamri





A man in Saudi Arabia has been sentenced to death explicitly for his atheism. Ahmad Al-Shamri has been harassed by the Saudi kingdom since 2014 when he posted several videos to social media renouncing Islam and the Prophet Mohamed. Al-Shamri has already had two appeals rejected and his future looks bleak.In a 1984-esque trial, Al-Shamri's lawyer attempted to plead insanity and blamed alcohol for the young atheists videos. It does not appear that this will work and Al-Shamri will most likely be beheaded without massve international pressure.
