URGENT: Halt Woman's Execution for 'Witchcraft'
To Those Who Share Our Deep Concern:
Please join us in calling for the immediate pardon and release of FAWZA FALIH [DEL:Falwah Faliz], a Saudi Arabian woman who has been sentenced to death by beheading for the alleged crime[DEL:s] of "witchcraft." As Human Rights Watch has declared, the conviction of Fawza Falih is a travesty of justice.
A letter to His Royal Highness KING ABDULLAH has been drafted and signed by clergy and members of various faith traditions. The letter may be read online where you may also sign it. Please do so as soon as possible at:
Human Rights Watch has appealed to Saudi Arabia to halt the execution of a woman convicted of witchcraft.In a letter to King Abdullah, the rights group described the trial and conviction of Fawza Falih as a miscarriage of justice. The illiterate woman was detained by religious police in 2005 and allegedly beaten and forced to fingerprint a confession that she could not read. Among her accusers was a man who alleged she made him impotent. Human Rights Watch said that Ms Falih had exhausted all her chances of appealing against her death sentence and she could only now be saved if King Abdullah intervened. 'Undefined' crime The US-based group is asking the Saudi ruler to void Ms Falih's conviction and to bring charges against the religious police who detained her and are alleged to have mistreated her. Its letter to King Abdullah says the woman was tried for the undefined crime of witchcraft and that her conviction was on the basis of the written statements of witnesses who said that she had bewitched them. Human Rights Watch says the trial failed to meet the safeguards in the Saudi justice system. The confession which the defendant was forced to fingerprint was not even read out to her, the group says. Also Ms Falih and her representatives were not allowed to attend most of the hearings. When an appeal court decided she should not be executed, the law courts imposed the death sentence again, arguing that it would be in the public interest.
This was NOT Witchcraft! Please, whether your Christian, Astru, Druid, Jewish, or any other religion, please sign this petition. Please. This is a travesty!
I doubt it. It's an unnofficial petition from a bunch of Reverends. And I am pretty sure that Arabic king is an ass. There is really nothing you can do in this situation. They have their messed up laws, and the only thing we can do with them is kill them off...

What?? You are the last person I would expect to comment like that. Though getting them to change their beliefs is nearly impossible. Even still many countires see witchcraft as reality. Haitians still belive its the cause of all sicknesses. Sadly this does not surprize me.
Arabic is the language, the king would be Saudi I think.

Witchcraft is real... It's not "Satanic" or whatever the Abrahamic religions want to call it though...

Comment like what? You cannot change the mind of the Arabic people. There are only two things you can do: do nothing, or drop an atomic bomb at them. E.g., whether you want it or not, they'll continue treating their women like crap and killing citizens just because they feel like, it's just how their brain works. And since nobody isn't going to drop a bomb at them they'll stay that way. And, yes, I have a strong dislike for them, for their way of life, and I am not one of those people who accept ways of life that hurt others just because they are traditions...
