Saudi Arabia lead Oman 3-0 at halftime in Gulf Cup group stage
Saudi Arabia finished the first half against Oman with a 3-0 lead in their Gulf Cup group match at Al-Inma Stadium in Jeddah.
The Hindu Munnani, a Hindu group in India, has sought assistance from the Indian government and Sri Lankan authorities regarding a Sri Lankan Tamil worker facing the death penalty in Saudi Arabia. The worker, Sivarasa Anojan, was convicted for a Facebook comment considered derogatory towards Islam and Prophet Muhammad. Initially sentenced to five years in prison, the sentence was later upgraded to death by the Saudi Supreme Court.
Anojan apologized publicly for his post, but the punishment remains. The Hindu Munnani has submitted a petition to the Sri Lankan Deputy High Commission in Chennai, urging intervention in Anojan's case and calling for a review of the death sentence.
