Free Speech 0, Free bloggers 5

In an update to yesterday's post, the president of the UAE has issued a royal pardon to the jailed bloggers. The Abu-Dhabi-Five, who have been incarcerated since April, were recenlty convicted for, among other things, insulting the president, Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

Surely a glorious day for freedom of royal speech. Horay.
