URGENT: Halt Saudi Woman's Execution for 'Witchcraft'
To Those Who Share Our Concern:
Please join us in calling for the immediate pardon and release of FAWZA FALIH , a Saudi Arabian woman who has been sentenced to death by beheading for the alleged crime 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 all over the world. 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
We would greatly appreciate it if you would also forward this request to whomever else you think will share our concern.
Time is of the essence.
