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.
