I remember something like this happening a number of years ago in Afghanistan -- where apostasy also carries the death penalty -- and the person was only saved when world leaders publicly condemned the sentence. Without that kind of high profile international pressure I don't see anything happening, and since nobody wants to say **** to the Saudis with all their oil, I imagine this is probably going to be shuffled off to the side until the problem "goes away".
