Saudi reforms are expedited: Western governments most impressed

"A total of 30 officials of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice (Haia) have been trained on how to deal with cases of black magic.  The three-day training program was held in the Eastern Province city of Al-Ahsa.  The commission has achieved remarkable successes in combating black magic in various parts of the country. It has set up nine specialized centers in the main cities to deal with black magicians.  The majority of people arrested for practicing black magic in the Kingdom are Africans and Indonesians.  According to a report received by Arab News, a single specialized center had dealt with 586 cases involving black magic, showing the enormity of the problem."
