PhotoThe story of how Ensaf Haidar first encountered her husband, Raif Badawi, is an unusual meet-cute. “I tell him about everything — the awards, the protests, the sit-ins that we have,” Ms. Haidar said through a translator. Ms. Haidar was using a borrowed phone and mistakenly returned a call from Mr. Badawi. When Ms. Haidar and Mr. Badawi were first getting to know each other, they spent hours on the phone. Ms. Haidar said a movie studio, which she did not want to identify, had bought the rights to make her book into a film.
