Lawyers for Liberty, Hamza Kashgari
[edit]( Back to T:TDYK )
( Article history links: )
- ... that the Malaysian Lawyers for Liberty are trying to save Hamza Kashgari from being executed for three allegedly blasphemous tweets?
- ALT1:... that the Malaysian Lawyers for Liberty are trying to save Hamza Kashgari from being executed in Saudi Arabia for three allegedly blasphemous tweets?

- Comment: Creator of article Lawyers for Liberty: User:Boud; creator of article Hamza Kashgari: User:OsamaK. I tend to think that ALT1 would raise more curiosity in the reader than the main hook, even though it's longer - lawyers in one mostly Muslim country acting for someone in another is probably more unexpected to the average reader than what would seem to be the case in the main hook (since the info that Kashgari is a Saudi and risks execution in Saudi Arabia, not in Malaysia, is missing in that hook).

New enough, long enough and neutral. All facts cited, but didn't check for copyvio. ALT1 is better and clearer imo. Bahraini Activist Talk to me 10:03, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
