The sentence against Ali al-Nimr, a Shiite Muslim who was only 17 when he was arrested in February 2012, has drawn international condemnation over his young age and allegations that he was tortured into making a confession.
"When I visited my son for the first time I didn't recognise him," Nusra al-Ahmed told the newspaper.

"For a month he was peeing blood," she added. "He said he felt like a mass of pain, his body was no more."
