Raif Badawi: Dans une prison à ciel ouvert

This week, André welcomes Tirad Badawi for a moving conversation about his family history, his childhood spent between Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, and Sherbrooke, and his father Raif Badawi's struggle. Tirad recounts memories of a happy childhood before his father's arrest, and then the shock of discovering what his family was truly going through. Together, they discuss freedom of expression, secularism, courage, exile, Canadian politics, and what it means to grow up with a father who is absent yet always deeply present. On the program: Tirad's childhood in Saudi Arabia before Raif Badawi's arrest Raif's fight for freedom of expression and against religious extremism The Badawi family's arrival in Sherbrooke and their adjustment to a new life Raif's "false release" and the restrictions that still prevent him from leaving Saudi Arabia Tirad's perspective on his mother Ensaf, secularism, gender equality, and his father's legacy 🔔 Subscribe so you don't miss the next episodes of EXTRAS This episode is presented by réZin Sélection.
