An Australian man sentenced to 500 lashes and a year in prison after his conviction on blasphemy charges in Saudi Arabia is headed home after his punishment was greatly reduced, officials said Thursday.


Australian officials said they were told Almaribe made comments "insulting to prophet Mohammed's relatives."
Blasphemy is punishable by up to a death sentence under the strict Muslim law in Saudi Arabia.
