A report published Oct. 13 by Alex Jones Live says a Saudi court sentenced Anojan Sivarasa, a 24-year-old Sri Lankan migrant worker, to death over a Facebook comment.
The report says Sivarasa was arrested July 1 and initially received a five-year prison sentence and a fine under Saudi Arabia’s anti-cybercrime law. It says prosecutors appealed that ruling and sought a harsher sentence. The brief source text does not identify the court, provide the date of the death sentence, describe the comment, or say whether further appeals are available.
The account also says Sivarasa deleted the comment and apologized. Those details, along with the reported case outcome, are not independently corroborated in the material provided.
