Fawza Falih was condemned to death by a court in the town of Quraiyat after confessing under interrogation to having used sorcery to bewitch people.
...Saudi Arabia’s religious police, the Muttawa, arrested Falih in 2006, and after 35 days’ detention and interrogation, she signed a statement confessing to having been a witch. However, at trial Falih repudiated her confession, saying it had been extracted under torture. Human Rights Watch also charged the Saudi woman’s trial was flawed, alleging misconduct on the part of the judge and prosecutor.
An appeals court threw out the death penalty in September 2006, but the lower court reinstated it on a “discretionary” basis, for the benefit of “public interest” and to “protect the creed, souls and property of this country.”
“The judges’ behavior in Fawza Falih’s trial shows they were interested in anything but a quest for the truth,” Stork said. “They completely disregarded legal guarantees that would have demonstrated how ill-founded this whole case was.”
A frequent target of civil rights campaigners for its human rights record, Saudi Arabia nonetheless has escaped international censure for its use of Sharia law. The nation is a member of the UN Human Rights Council, and during the state visit of King Abdullah to London last November Prime Minister Gordon Brown declined to raise the issue.
"We haven't talked of human rights," Prince Saud al-Faisal told Sky News on Nov 1. "Human rights is the responsibility for the government of its own people, not of other governments. We are doing what our people expect us to do."
On Nov 2, Saudi Arabia executed an Egyptian man for sorcery. Mustafa Ibrahim was found guilty under Sharia law of having tried “through sorcery” to separate a married couple, according to a Ministry of Interior statement.

I don’t think Coulter has ever questioned either or massive aid to, or our defacto alliance, with Saudi Arabia. If she has, I must have missed it. The only candidate in recent memory to have done so was Ron Paul.
I don’t give a damn about ANY saudi woman nor ANY saudi man, they all are scum.
That’s what awaits Huma back home, once her current project collapses!
Wonder when the Young American Wiccan Network will make a statement?
Sir Bedevere: What makes you think she’s a witch?
Peasant 3: Well, she turned me into a newt!
Sir Bedevere: A newt?
Peasant 3: [meekly after a long pause] ... I got better.
Crowd: [shouts] Burn her anyway!
Want to know the truth about the “sacred stone” of Mecca? It was a meteorite that hit the area many thousands of years ago and a pagan religion grew up worshiping the stone. Well, there was quite a trade of people visiting Mecca to see and worship the rock.
Mohammed surrounded the city of Mecca and demanded they surrender. The agreed but only if Muhammed agreed to tell everyone the stone was holy so it wouldn’t interfere with the tourist trade. Muhammed agreed and received a cut of the trade in return.
It was all about money and still is.
Does she weigh the same as a duck?
Since Saudi Arabia has recognized Kosovo’s independence, this adds a very intersting twist to what’s now happening in The Balkans. Anyone want to bet how long it’ll take before we have public beheadings there every Friday afternoon?
If they’re that down on witches, I guess Hillary can never visit.
