@afrivision.media: A 24-year-old Sri Lankan worker, Anojan Sivarasa, has reportedly been sentenced to death in Saudi Arabia over a Facebook comment allegedly insulting the Prophet Muhammad. According to reports, the Hindu worker made the comment during an online religious argument in June and later deleted it. He initially received a five-year prison sentence and a fine, but an appeals court reportedly changed the punishment to death on September 17. His mother has appealed to Saudi authorities for mercy, saying her son made a mistake and pleading for his life. Sri Lankan authorities are reportedly seeking clemency, while his family says they have not heard from him since late September. Amnesty International has confirmed the death sentence and called for it to be overturned. ##SriLanka##SaudiArabia##AnojanSivarasa ##HumanRights
