  3. ⚖ Explainer: Sivarasa Anojan, the Facebook comment and the death sentence in Saudi Arabia Sivarasa Anojan, a 24-year-old Eelam Tamil engineer from Kalmunai, faces execution in Saudi Arabia over a Facebook comment he says he deleted within about ten minutes. He was first sentenced to five years' imprisonment, but after Saudi prosecutors appealed, the sentence was raised to death on 17 September. His family says he has since been attacked in prison, while Sri Lankan diplomats have not been allowed to see him. An appeal to the Saudi Supreme Court must be filed by 17 October.

  5. A Facebook argument that began around a religious dispute in Sri Lanka has ended with migrant worker Anojan Sivarasa facing a death sentence in Saudi Arabia. Initially sentenced to five years in prison and fined three million Saudi riyals, Sivarasa later received the death penalty after the case went before an appellate court.

The 26-year-old moved to Saudi Arabia in 2025 to work for Denys Arabia, an engineering, procurement, and construction contractor. During Sri Lanka’s June 2026 Pada Yatra, a stray dog began following pilgrims, who named him after Lord Subramaniam. Then, a video of a man kicking the dog went viral. One user made a reportedly derogatory comment about Shiva. Sivarasa responded with an allegedly derogatory comment about Prophet Muhammad. Sivarasa deleted his comment after 10 minutes and apologized on video. But people still circulated his words with his photo. By June 30, Denys Arabia had fired him. “People in Saudi Arabia knew nothing about this matter. It was individuals in Sri Lanka who sent emails to the company where my brother worked,” Hamsidan, Sivarasa’s brother, told BBC.
