Saudi Arabia has postponed a public flogging of activist and blogger Raif Badawi on medical grounds.
Rights watchdog Amnesty International also reported the postponement on its Twitter account.
Mr Badawi's first 50 lashes in public took place last Friday and he was due to be flogged again after prayers this morning.
He set up the "Free Saudi Liberals" website, was arrested in June 2012 for offences including cyber crime and disobeying his father.
Last year, he was sentenced to ten years in jail, a fine of one million riyals (€227,000) and 1,000 lashes.
