World-Talks # Samar Badawi
Samar Badawi is a Saudi Arabian human rights activist. In 2012, Badawi won the International Women of Courage Award, which was presented to her by Michelle Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton at the U.S. State Department. Badawi's brother Raif Badawi is currently imprisoned for founding the website "Saudi Liberal Bloggers", aiming to open a discussion about the system of government in Saudi Arabia. He was sentenced to ten years imprisonment and 1,000 lashes. Badawi's husband, Waleed Abulkhair, took on Raif Badawi's case, only to be imprisoned himself as a result.
