Condemned ‘sorcerer’ won’t die Friday, lawyer says
A Lebanese man condemned to death for sorcery by a court in Saudi Arabia won’t face beheading Friday, his lawyer said Thursday.
May El Khansa told CNN she received assurances from Lebanon’s justice minister that Ali Hussain Sibat will not be executed Friday. But there was no indication that Sibat’s death sentence would be commuted or that he would be released, she said.
There was no immediate confirmation of the report from Lebanon’s Justice Ministry, and Saudi authorities have not responded to requests for comment on Sibat’s case. Sibat’s wife made an emotional plea for mercy during a CNN interview Thursday, asking the kingdom’s rulers to let him come back to his country and his family.”
“All I ask is for the Saudi king and the Saudi government to show him mercy — let him come back to his country and his family,” Samira Rahmoon said.
Sibat used to offer predictions and advice to callers on a Lebanese television network.
Sibat was arrested by Saudi Arabia’s religious police and charged with sorcery while visiting the country for an Islamic pilgrimage in May 2008, according to May El Khansa, his attorney in Lebanon. Saudi authorities have not disclosed details of the charge for which Sibat has been condemned and have not responded to requests for comment on the case.
We can’t understand how they could arrest him and charge him and sentence him to death,” Rahmoon said. “It doesn’t make any sense.”
El Khansa said Wednesday that she had been told about the upcoming execution by a Saudi source with knowledge of the case and the proceedings. Lebanon’s government says it has no confirmation that his execution has been set. But Justice Minister Ibrahim Najjar said he had asked the Saudis to halt any scheduled execution and release Sibat, calling the punishment “disproportionate.”
“I have asked them not to implement any execution in this case,” he said. “As far as I know, such an act doesn’t deserve such a punishment, unless there is something else — something that I have not had the possibility to study or to examine myself.”
Rahmoon said the family has been unable to contact Sibat “for a long time.”
A law against witchcraft remains on the books in Lebanon, but is the equivalent of a misdemeanor, Najjar said.
“I respect the law of Saudi Arabia, which is based on Sharia law,” he said. “But at the same time, I’m very concerned about such a sentence.”
Sibat was convicted by a court in Medina and sentenced to death in November, El Khansa said. He appealed, and his case was sent back to the trial court for reconsideration. But the judges in Medina upheld their original verdict in March, she said.
The human rights group Amnesty International has called for Sibat’s release. His case drew a small knot of protesters from a Lebanese youth group to the Saudi Embassy in Beirut on Thursday, and Najjar said he told his Saudi counterpart that beheading Sibat “would not be productive” to Lebanese-Saudi relations.
“I have done what I thought was responsible for the justice minister in Lebanon to do, and I said to my colleague in Saudi Arabia that such an act in Lebanon would not be sanctioned by more than two months of imprisonment,” Najjar said.10luoyuejun0402
Burberry Heart Print Bags
Looky looky! A gorgeous, workable, elegant, leather hobo from Burberry. Oh, and the price is manageable for a leather bag. Can I tell you how much this excites me? I adore the Burberry ad campaigns and love the way Burberry has been on top of social media. And now to have a bag that I love equally only furthers my growing obsession with the brand.
The Burberry Knotted Leather Hobo is the bag in focus right now with a large comfortable shoulder strap and buttery soft leather with a knotted front design. The inside of course has the classic and iconic check lining, which is always a preppy cool touch.
This week we will be bringing you a variety of bags that make perfect Valentine’s Day presents. And just in time for this Hallmark Holiday, Designer Replica Handbags has been releasing a line of heart print bags.
The line of bags ranges from totes to small shoulder bags. There is still the quintessential nova check pattern that can be seen on each item. The hearts then take over the foreground of each item, which gives us a splash of love.
The only item from the line that I would consider is the Burberry Confetti Hearts Tote, which is the most mature looking bag of the bunch. The rest of the lot is better suited for a younger crowd. And while a younger crowd may like the line, there is always Valentine’s Day this week, at which time this bag would seem fitting. Shop Burberry at Bloomingdales.
