Women condemed for practicing witchcraft
A Saudi Arabian women has been sentenced to death for witchcraft. Originally sources reported that the women weighed the same as a duck but upon further review nothing could be found to back that up. However, in a letter to King Abdallah, the group said that Fawza Falih had been beaten to extort a confession she later repudiated in court. The charge itself has no basis in Saudi law, the letter argued. Several witnesses claimed that Falih had bewitched them, including one man who said she had made him impotent. In court, Falih said that she was beaten repeatedly during 35 days of detention by the Saudi religious police.
Now how bizzare are we getting here. First, you get convicted of witchery. Then you are accused off making a man impotent. It even says the charge has no basis on Saudi law. Then how was this women convicted! It is still amazing how the middle east works.
