A dog used to follow pilgrims to a Hindu religious site in Sri Lanka, and videos of it were shared warmly in Sri Lankan Hindu circles.
In late June, offended by the videos, a Muslim man went to the pilgrimage site, located the dog, kicked it, and uploaded the video, sparking outrage. During one such argument, a Sri Lankan Muslim wrote a derogatory post against the Hindu deity.
Anojan Sivarasa, a Sri Lankan Hindu working as a laborer in Saudi Arabia, didn't like the comment and responded with a reply that was allegedly derogatory to the Prophet.
Anojan's well-wisher immediately warned him. He took down the comment and issued a video apology within five minutes in which he said he was responding to an insult to his faith. However, it was too late. Anojan's fellow Sri Lankan Muslims had already taken a screenshot and emailed it to his employer in Saudi Arabia. His employer promptly reported it to the authorities, who arrested Anojan and put him on trial. He has been sentenced to death.
Saudi Arabia rarely reverses a decision once it has made one, but there should be global outrage over this. Blasphemy laws or whatever, the man was only responding to an insult to his faith, deleted the comment, and issued an apology within minutes, yet he will still have to pay with his life while those who provoked him are rejoicing in Sri Lanka. This is unacceptable. Anyone calling themselves a free speech supporter and not opposing this is a hypocrite of the highest order.

No placards. No media outrage. No Vivek Srivasta-like creatures crying and howling through the night for justice for this 20 to 22-year-old Hindu youth.
A 22-year-old Brahmin youth, Deva Dwivedi, died by suicide in fear of the SC-ST Act.
A fight between two families took place in July in Pateria village, Manikpur, Chitrakoot.
An SC-ST Act case was filed against Deva in July 2026.
Deva Dwivedi was under severe mental pressure because of this fear.
But he won't give them TRP.
Neither will his death matter to vote-bank-hungry demons.
This is what happens when outrage is selective, justice is selective, and even death is filtered through political usefulness.
#SCSTActMisuse
We have an 8000 year-old culture to showcase and yet while one city - Paris - attracts 25 million foreign tourists a year, an entire country - India - gets 11 million. We havenтАЩt plucked the lowest-hanging fruit. We are watching it rot.
