A Saudi Arabian blogger has been publicly flogged after being convicted of cybercrime and insulting Islam, reports say.
Raif Badawi, who was sentenced to 1,000 lashes and 10 years in jail, was flogged 50 times. The flogging will be carried out weekly, campaigners say.
Mr Badawi, the co-founder of a now banned website called the Liberal Saudi Network, was arrested in 2012.
Rights groups condemned his conviction and the US appealed for clemency.
On Thursday state department spokeswoman Jen Psaki urged the Saudi authorities to "cancel this brutal punishment" and to review his case.
In addition to his sentence, Mr Badawi was ordered to pay a fine of 1 million riyals ($266,000; £175,000).
In 2013 he was cleared of apostasy, which could have carried a death sentence.

Dream on.
How long has Saudi Arabia existed? How long has it been since the Ayatollah ousted the US with its tail between its legs?
Dealing with Islam is not a matter of reaching across the aisle. It is a matter of superior force! Of superior will! Politeness and civility have no role!
Islam is incompatible with our way of life. It must be expunged.
You missed my point completely.
Which was?
In a functioning democracy, enforcing bad laws may work to get them changed. But not in a theocracy! Nor in other totalitarian regimes, such as Cuber. One in place, the only way to overthrow such is superior force, typically from outside. Or wait for the tyrants to grow old and croak, assuming their replacements are not up to the task of maintaining the regime.
Was it humblegunner administering the punishment?
I’ve often wondered what would happen if we bombed them to smithereens.
These people eat, drink and breathe revenge. We’d probably have to take out at least Pakistan while we were at it since they have the bomb.
Most of all our politicians and thier supporters are protecting these parasites
Two useless Presidents debasing themselves and their office.
Amen brother!
