HALT EXECUTION OF SAUDI WOMAN FOR "WITCHCRAFT"
Please Help by taking part in an international coalition of
religious leaders and others who have signed a letter to
King Abdullah bin
Abd al-'Aziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia pleading for the release of a Saudi
Arabian woman, Fawza Falih, who has been condemned to death for
"witchcraft." She was accused for "bewitching" a man and making him
"impotent." She was imprisoned and beaten, her confession was coerced, the
limited appeals process is now exhausted, and she is awaiting execution, a
public beheading.
The coalition seeking her pardon and release also includes Muslims,
Jews, Christians, Hindus, Native Americans, Buddhists, and those of other
faith traditions. The letter will be delivered soon to the Saudi
ambassadors to the
United Nations and the United States.
ACT NOW -- sign the petition to save Fawza Falih's life:
