URGENT: Halt Woman’s Execution for ‘Witchcraft’
To Those Who Share Our Deep Concern:
Please join us in calling for the immediate pardon and release of FAWZA FALIH [DEL:Falwah Faliz], a Saudi Arabian woman who has been sentenced to death by beheading for the alleged crime[DEL:s] of “witchcraft.” As Human Rights Watch has declared, the conviction of Fawza Falih is a travesty of justice.
A letter to His Royal Highness KING ABDULLAH 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:
http://www.petitiononline.com/AIDFAWZA/petition.html
Please help to circulate this request for support as widely as possible — time is of the essence.
