Previous postponements came after doctors found Raif Badawi had n't recovered from his first beating . Badawi was sentenced last year to 10 years in prison and 500 lashes for insulting Islam . The reason why Raif Badawi received another reprieve Friday was n't immediately available , but previous postponements were made because doctors determined he was too badly injured in his first beating January 9 to withstand more , according to Amnesty International and his wife . He started a blog in 2008 to promote discussion about Islam , particularly looking into Saudis ' personal lives .
