Saudi Arabia beheads woman for 'sorcery'
Human rights group describes execution as "truly appalling" and notes steep rise in country's use of capital punishment.

A Saudi woman has been beheaded after being convicted of practising sorcery, which is banned in the conservative Gulf kingdom, the country's interior ministry said.

Amina bint Abdul Halim bin Salem Nasser was executed on Monday in the northern province of Jawf for "practising witchcraft and sorcery", the ministry said in a statement carried by SPA, Saudi Arabia's state news agency.

The ministry gave no further details of the charges for which the woman was convicted.
London-based newspaper al-Hayat quoted a member of the Saudi religious police as saying Nasser was in her 60s. The official claimed she had tricked people into giving her money, claiming that she could cure their illnesses.

According to the report, she apparently charged up to $800 a session.

Amnesty International said the beheading brought the number of executions in the kingdom to 73 this year. Another woman was beheaded in October for killing her husband by setting his house on fire.

There are no available statistics on how many women have been executed in Saudi Arabia.

'Truly appalling'

Amnesty condemned Monday's execution as "truly appalling", and called on Saudi Arabia to urgently halt the practice.
"The charges of 'witchcraft and sorcery' are not defined as crimes in Saudi Arabia", Philip Luther, Amnesty's interim director of the Middle East and North Africa, said.

"To use them to subject someone to the cruel and extreme penalty of execution is truly appalling," he added in a statement, which stressed the "urgent need" to stop executions.

"The charge of sorcery has often been used in Saudi Arabia to punish people, generally after unfair trials, for exercising their right to freedom of speech or religion"
- Philip Luther,
Amnesty's interim director of the Middle East and North Africa

Rape, murder, apostasy, armed robbery and drug trafficking are all punishable by death in Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia is an absolute monarchy with no written criminal code. Its law is based on a form of Islamic sharia law, as interpreted by the country's judges.

Amnesty has reported that Saudi Arabia executed 27 convicts in 2010, compared to 67 executions announced the year before. Luther described the increasing number of executions in Saudi Arabia as "deeply disturbing" .

Many of those executed have had no defence lawyer and are not informed about the legal proceedings against them, according to Amnesty.

"While we don't know the details of the acts which the authorities accused Amina of committing, the charge of sorcery has often been used in Saudi Arabia to punish people, generally after unfair trials, for exercising their right to freedom of speech or religion," Luther said.

Earlier this month, Amnesty accused the oil-rich kingdom of conducting a campaign of repression against protesters and reformists since the Arab Spring erupted 12 months ago.

The rights group said Saudi Arabia was one of a minority of states which voted against a UN General Assembly resolution last December calling for a worldwide moratorium on executions.

Sounds like a very flexible and cost effective system.......no criminal code, save money on defence lawyers, save more money by not cluttering up the jails with convicts. No wonder they have so much money to throw around in the whorehouses of the world.....

Muslims, that sums it all. As simple as that.

On the contrary to suggest such a generalisation is simple

Saudi Arabia is one of the most barbaric muslim country, just ask the S-E asian who work there without any right to own a Bible or to practise their religion unless hidden.

All you lefties who apologize for islam are a bunch of cunts who will not be spared when the charia law will replace the law in your country. Dhimmies you'll be, without any right to do anything else than follow the invaders rules.

Good luck, and your children will be happy. Morons.

The local loonies went a bit mental at a metal concert some youngsters had here a while back.

"Witchcraft!", they called it, "They're even wearing Witchcraft T-Shirts!".

According to the BBC World Service news today, this is the 4th such publicised case of a psychic/tarot reader/astrologist being sentenced to death in Saudi over the last few years.

The extreme interpretation of the Koran in that part of the world by the Wahabi isalmists means that when you strip away the shiny mobiles/laptops and Toyota Landcruisers you are left with a society living among values that are stuck in the 15th century.

The ruling elite in Saudi Arabia actively want the populace to be all consumed by religion, because that means their embezzlement and misuse of the oil funds can continue unchallenged.

I lived in that part of the world for 3 years. My overall memory of the Gulf Arabs will be that of people living in wilful ignorance and steeped in massive hypocrisy.

As I have stated elsewhere on this forum, Islam is not a religion. It is a totalitarian regime that requires slavish obedience. Like Marxism, the sooner it is dismantled, the better!

You forgot to say nazism. These people are pure evil.

Ann to all the lefties:

A French minister of Arab origin says ‘there is no such thing as moderate Islam’

A French minister of Arab origin says

Islam has nothing to do in Western world.

Not forever... they may be hitting peak oil any second now.

Is Saudi Arabia running out of oil?

Confidential cables released by WikiLeaks reveal U.S. concern over the limits of Saudi Arabia's oil supply. Is this a crisis?

A crisis? let's hope so...

I think a lot of lefties now appreciate that Islam is not entirely compatible with their values and aspirations.

**The balding Coot** · 13-12-2011, 07:41 PM

The problem is that to the 'left', national and cultural identity is akin to Nazism.

They want a pretty, blue skies society where all nationalities and religions co-exist peacefully. It is their project, their dreamworld, and nothing that proves that it is impossible will convince them otherwise.

The 'left' always turn a blind eye to news reports like this, because it serves to dispute the myth that multiculturalism can be successful.

On the radio today a report that Muslim women taking up Canadian citizenship are wearing the full niqab (face veil) during the swearing in ceremony!!

The response of the Candian 'left' was that 'women are entitled to their freedom to wear whatever they choose'.

Personally I would send these misguided 'lefties' to do a 4 year stint in Sudan. Somalia, Saudi or Yemen. Let's see what their opinions and values are afterwards!

I wish your children a happy life in the future in the world your dhimmi attitude is building for them.

Just look at any muslim country in the world and tell me where they are happy, you're a fu**ing liar, treator for the western world and your children and family. You'll be proud of the disaster in your grave.

I don't worry as I have only a dog, a ferocious one.
