Most of us don't think much of our occassional and often critical comments on social media such as Twitter. But not in Saudi Arabia where 38 year-old Abdulrahman Al-Sadhan has been sentenced to 20 years in a Saudi prison. Delmarva Public Media's Don Rush talked with his sister Areej Al-Sadhan about her brother and efforts to get him released.
