LAHORE: A court in Saudi Arabia has sentenced a man to ten years in prison and 2,000 lashes for expressing his atheism on Twitter, reports The Sun.
The 28-year-old reportedly refused to repent, insisting what he wrote reflected his beliefs and that he had the right to express them.
The late King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia introduced laws defining atheists as terrorists.
The police in charge of monitoring social networks found more than 600 tweets denying the existence of God, ridiculing Quranic verses.
The court also fined him around £4,000.
