A Lebanese man who hosted a popular TV show where he gave callers advice and sometimes predicted the future was sentenced to death by a court in Saudi Arabia last month. His charge? Sorcery.
“A Saudi poet was arrested at his workplace and taken to the religious police headquarters for allegedly writing “heretic” poetry containing “sorcery symbols.”
Let’s not forget that this is the judicial system of an ally!
“Saudi courts are sanctioning a literal witch hunt by the religious police…The crime of ‘witchcraft’ is being used against all sorts of behavior, with the cruel threat of state-sanctioned executions.”
