They don't kill people for practicing witchcraft anymore, right? Riiight?
Wrong.
Wrong, that is, if you live in a backwards, barbaric, vile, misogynistic theocracy whose leaders are so blinded that they make a mockery of justice. Apparently if an impotent man accuses a woman of witchcraft, she is to be executed as ordered by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Fawza Falih is to be decapitated for practicing witchcraft, despite the pleas of human rights groups around the world. She is an illiterate woman who was beaten and forced to sign a confession that she has never had read to her. On top of this, her representatives were not even allowed at most of the trial.
Oh, what a glorious nation we beget when we base its constitution on a religious document!
