Human Rights Group Attempts to Stop Execution of Woman for WitchcraftThe New York-based Human Rights Watch said in a statement that the kingdom's religious police who arrested and interrogated Fawza Falih, and the judges who tried her in the northern town of Quraiyat never gave her the opportunity to prove her innocence in the face of "absurd charges that have no basis in law." [emphasis mine]
Gee, didn't the West and Christianity stop this almost five centuries ago? Yes, there are probably some stupid practitioners in the back woods and jungles who still do it, but as a state sanctioned religious act? Puhleeeeeze!
