b]24-Year-Old Sri Lankan Migrant Worker Sentenced To Death in Saudi Arabia For Allegedly Insuuting Prophet Muhammad

A 24-year-old Sri Lankan migrant worker, Anojan Sivarasa, is facing the death penalty in Saudi Arabia after an appellate court found him guilty of blasphemy against Islam and the Prophet Muhammad over a comment he made on Facebook.

Anojian was arrested in July after a religious dispute erupted online following an incident involving Hindu pilgrims in Sri Lanka. During the exchange, a user reportedly made derogatory remarks about a Hindu deity, prompting Anojan to respond in Tamil with an insulting comment about Prophet Muhammad. He later deleted the comment and posted an apology video, but screenshots were reportedly sent to his employer and Saudi authorities.

According to his brother, Hamsidan Sivarasa, people in Saudi Arabia were initially unaware of the matter, as individuals in Sri Lanka reportedly sent emails about the post to the company where Anojan worked. The company subsequently notified Saudi authorities, who registered a case against him.

Anojian was initially sentenced to five years in prison and fined 3 million Saudi riyals. However, on September 17, Saudi prosecutors appealed, seeking to have him prosecuted under Sharia law instead of the country’s cybercrime legislation. The appellate court granted the request and increased his punishment to the de@th penalty.

His mother, Rasamanickam Yogalakshmi, has made an emotional plea for his life, saying, “I plead for mercy for the wrongs committed by my son. Please forgive him and send him back to us.”

The Sri Lankan government has launched diplomatic efforts to secure a pardon. President Anura Kumara Dissanayake also assured Anojan’s family that the government would spare no effort to obtain his release.

The family has reportedly had no communication with Anojan since September 28. A four-member Sri Lankan legal delegation is travelling to Saudi Arabia to meet his local defence lawyers and discuss what can be done to save him.

You want to kill the living because of his comment about a dead man ?
Not that he started the trouble, but he was only reacting because someone who happens to be a Muslim insulted his own Hindu religion.

You see the problem I have with these people ?
If I talk now they will start with their deceptive slogan “Islamophobia”

Judgement is left for God. This is why l love Christianity and other religions , no matter what you say about Jesus Christ nobody will come for you, rather they will pray for you to repent..

Even Mohammed wasn’t sure if he would make heaven or not, why are you then fighting for such character ?
Quran 46:9

Even though he repented and apologized about the reactionary comment that was fairly weighted against the provocation, they still gave him death sentence.

This is the liberal Saudi our leaders sponsor 60,000 pilgrims to yearly.

A dead man who has no record of rising after few days? No heaven deeds associated.
They refuse to accept the forgiveness plea of the man.

That’s very sad situation.
Re: Anojan Sivarasa Sentenced To Death Over Comment About Prophet Muhammad In Saudi by CyynthiaKiss(op):
Is there any Muslim on this forum that can come forward to say that all Muslims shouldn’t be judged because of what Saudi Arabia’s did ?

Anyone pls ?

Of course none, because all Muslims are the same..

You can see what I have been saying

Re: Anojan Sivarasa Sentenced To Death Over Comment About Prophet Muhammad In Saudi by CyynthiaKiss(op): 12:35pm On Oct 07
Muslims worship Muhammad, whether they admit it or not. They defend Muhammad more fiercely than they defend Allah. They’re often quicker to kill over blasphemy against Muhammad than against Allah.

Check most of the blasphemy cases, it's always more of Muhammad and not Allah.

Stop playing the ostrich. That story sweet your belle well well. No be you wey dey support such evil in the name of religion? No be you dey support such extremist beliefs? Abeggi.

Do as they do in Rome.

He was stupid and paying for the consequences.

You already know those guys are fanatic about their religion then you tried to test them.

To crown it all, you didn't do it from the safety of Sri Lanka you did it in Saudi Arabia. grin

NB - those commenting paparazzi. Saudi Arabia is a totalitarian/ authoritarian regime.

You've no rights as a citizen against Monarchy not to talk of being a foreigner.

A guy participated in Arab Spring Riots and got away with it. Years later, he sent a friend a picture of him masked as a protester.

Government went to pick him and tortured him to snitch on his fellow protesters. At the end, he lost his head for the offence.

Re: Anojan Sivarasa Sentenced To Death Over Comment About Prophet Muhammad In Saudi by Sheuns(m): 2:24pm On Oct 07
What was done to the individual that first made derogatory comments at Hindu religion?

Also note that the Quran doesn’t explicitly give any sentence on blasphemy.

There are also different schools of thoughts on the rulings on judgements of blasphemy for a non Muslim.

This ruling will not stand.
