Condemned ‘sorcerer’ won’t die Friday, lawyer says
Sibat, a Lebanese man condemned to death for sorcery by a court in Saudi Arabia won’t face beheading Friday, his lawyer said.
May El Khansa 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.
