Center for Islamic Pluralism Executive Director Stephen Schwartz expressed support for the decision of Saudi King Abdullah to vacate the arbitrary sanctions ordered against the still-unidentified "woman from Qatif," a Saudi Shia rape victim threatened with 200 strokes of a metal rod and jail time. Schwartz described Abdullah's action as part of a slow but progressive process of change in the Saudi kingdom, on the talk show "The World Tonight with Rob Breakenridge," broadcast on radio station CHQR, AM770, Calgary, Alberta, on December 17, 2007.
