US Media Picks Up on Sabri Bogday Death Sentence

Several US media outlets have taken an interest in the case of Sabri Bogday, the Turkish national who has been sentenced to death by Saudi courts. We are pleased that our efforts to bring public attention to Mr.Bogday's case has resulted in this important coverage and would like to encourage you to write letters to the editors or post on the websites where the articles are featured to amplify the urgency of international intervention to save his life. If you are involved in any human rights or professional organization, please bring the issue to their attention and ask them to join this appeal. We advise Turkish students at US and Canadian universities to alert campus based groups to take action.

Coverage about the case was featured in:

  • Houston Chronicle: "Saudi Arabian law could lead to man's beheading for cursing"
  • Los Angeles Times: "Saudi Law May Lead to Turk's Beheading"
  • South Florida Sun-Sentinel: "Saudi Law May Lead to Turk's Beheading"
  • United Press International: "Saudi Barber Faces Beheading for Cursing"

We continue to urge you to write a simple letter pleading for the commutation of Bogday's life to :

His Majesty King Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz Al-Saud
The Custodian of the two Holy Mosques

Salutation: Your Majesty

Faxes can be sent to the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia at Fax: 202-944-5983, with copy to

His Excellency Adel A. Al-Jubeir
Ambassador of the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia
