KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian police have arrested a Saudi blogger who fled his country after making insulting comments on Twitter about the Last Prophet (pbuh), prompting a surge of online outrage and calls for his execution."It is confirmed that Malaysian police have detained the Saudi writer. This arrest was part of an Interpol operation which the Malaysian police were a part of," a police spokesman told Reuters on Friday.
He gave no further details and would not comment on whether the writer, Hamza Kashghari, would be extradited to Saudi Arabia.
The 23-year-old Kashgari reportedly posted the comments on his Twitter feed on Saturday, drawing thousands of outraged comments on Twitter and other social networking sites.
Kashgari later said in an interview that he was being made a "scapegoat for a larger conflict" over his comments.
"I view my actions as part of a process toward freedom," Kashgari was quoted as saying in the interview with the Daily Beast website.
"I was demanding my right to practice the most basic human rights — freedom of expression and thought - so nothing was done in vain."
