WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE: WHERE ARE ARAB FAKE LIBERALS?
"A Lebanese man sentenced to death in Saudi Arabia on charges of witchcraft is due to be beheaded this week, his lawyer said on Wednesday, urging officials and rights groups to intervene on his behalf. "Last night we got news through unofficial channels that Ali Sabat would be beheaded within 48 hours," May el-Khansa, Sabat's attorney in Beirut, told AFP. "I have since been contacting Lebanese officials, including President Michel Sleiman and Lebanon's ambassador to Saudi Arabia to appeal his case." Sabat was sentenced to death in November of last year by a Saudi court for practicing witchcraft." (thanks Richard)
