Saudi Arabia's justice ministry plans to sue a Twitter user who compared the death sentence handed down on Friday to a Palestinian poet to the punishments meted out by Islamic State, a major government-aligned newspaper reported last week. 'The justice ministry will sue the person who described ... the sentencing of a man to death for apostasy as being 'ISIS-like',' the newspaper Al-Riyadh quoted a source in the justice ministry as saying. The source did not identify the Twitter user or the possible penalty. Last week, a Saudi Arabian court sentenced Palestinian poet Ashraf Fayadh to death for apostasy - abandoning his Muslim faith - according to trial documents seen by Human Rights Watch.
