SAUDI Arabia's religious police plan to behead a woman accused of being a witch, a human rights group says.Human Rights Watch has asked the country's king to intervene over "absurd charges that have no basis in law". Fawza Falih was arrested and interrogated in the northern town of Quraiyat two years ago and sentenced to death.
The judges who convicted her relied on her forced confession and the statements of witnesses who said she had "bewitched" them. One man claimed he became impotent after Ms Falih cast a spell on him. Witchcraft is considered an offence against Islam in Saudi Arabia.
Ms Falih retracted her confession in court, saying it was extracted under duress and she could not understand the document because she is illiterate.
The death sentence was lifted on appeal, but reimposed in the name of "public interest" soon after.
Human Rights Watch's Middle East director Joe Stork said: "The fact that Saudi judges still conduct trials for unprovable crimes like 'witchcraft' underscores their inability to carry out objective criminal investigations."

Why are these men, with large guns I might add, why are these men so cowardly afraid of women.
