Halt Woman's Execution for Witchcraft

Lady Bleu's picture

PLEASE - if you forward this to any Pagan/Wiccan groups, boards, lists or
individuals, be SURE to indicate that 1) only legal names should be used and
2) that there should be NO references to Pagan/Wiccan organizations as we are concerned that such references would further endanger Fawza Falih's position. This is VERY important.

To Those Who Share Our Deep Concern:

Please join us in calling for the immediate pardon and release of Falwah Faliz, a Saudi Arabian woman who has been sentenced to death by beheading for the alleged crimes of “witchcraft." As Human Rights Watch has declared, the conviction of Fawza Falih is a travesty of justice.

A letter to His Royal Highness has been drafted and signed by clergy and
members of various faith traditions. The letter may be read online where
you may also sign it. Please do so as soon as possible at:

Please help to circulate this request for support as widely as possible --
time is of the essence.
