Guest guest Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Wiccans, Druids, and other Pagans are part of 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.
