Quote: Rescue the Sudanese Shepherd from Death Penalty beheading with a sword in Saudi Arabia In October of 2009, the Saudi security authorities in cooperation with the (Commission to Promote Virtue and Prevent Vice) in Saudi Arabia in the village of ( Dalla Bushra) near (Alshamli) City ( 180 Km from Haiel City in the Western of Saudi Arabia) Arrest a Sudanese simple shepherd - named Ibrahim - working for an elderly Saudi family whom pay him monthly salary less than (two hundred U.S. dollars) for grazing sheep, he was charged by (witchcraft and sorcery), they said that he witchcraft this family and make them subject to him and carry out orders over them By (magic), the expected punishment for this crime (according to the laws of Saudi Arabia) is Death Penalty (beheading with a sword). It is noteworthy that the Sudanese shepherd - at the age of 48 years - has been working in the service of this Saudi family for more than 23 years, and he went to on vacation to his country Sudan only 3 times, and continued to receive a salary less than two hundred dollars all that period and he continued to serve this family in Saudi Arabia - Vdegm family - until they had reached very old Age. (Om Vdegm) the older wife - 99 years - had been informed the newspaper (Al Hayat Saudi newspaper): «God suffices, and yes, the agent of injustice to him, Ibrahim did not cause me and my husband any harm, disease and the pain hit me and the paralysis of my husband is from God», stressing she and her husband (108 years) are very confident of the innocence of the shepherd, and a maliciousness communication made by one of their relatives « for unknown reasons» has been sent to the (Commission to Promote Virtue and Prevent Vice). She emphasized that the men of the (Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice) have caused an increase to their suffering and inflicting harmful treatment on them especially as they are very old and need special care which was done by the Shepherd. She continued: « he lived with us and I was washing his clothes and cook for him with a help from my daughter, I deal with him as one of my sons and part of the family, has a special place in my heart, through this 23 years we did nor receive any harm from him or even failure on his job, he was always honest and truthful, he keep watching us all the night, protecting us and protect our sheep from the assault and robbery, and I ask my husband often to increase his monthly salary to 700 Riyals ( 200 US $) because he deserves that », pointing out that he traveled to his country during the period he spent with them only 3 times. Also the Son of the family - Vdegm (61 years) - , deemed the shepherded might be a sponsor of any kind of the magic had been applied on his family «because he always remember God, used to pray on time , and did not realize him is a cause for any doubt or suspicion because no one used to visit him at all for magic purposes or any reasons for the past 23 years he spent with the family», wondering: « The Shepherd does not know how to read and write, how he will write a Magical Curse ?» He was astonished that the Men of the (Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice) raided the residence of the family and the withdrawal of the shepherd without taking permission from his father, or even tell him about the reason for the arrest. He said: «It was supposed to ask us for body and whether any noticed him acting strangely, but we were surprised the men of the Commission had break in and beat the shepherd and then withdraw him from us as if we have nothing to do with what is happening». He continued: « if they were honest and the communication was true why they did not read Quran on my family to break the spell ?», Pointing out that his parents often affected by the absence of the shepherd «he was like a son to them because I work in the city (Riyadh) and my brother work in Jeddah, so we both far from them. ». It is worth mentioning according to reports of "Amnesty International Organization" that executions in Saudi Arabia aimed at expatriates disproportionately with Saudi citizens, which constitutes discrimination on the basis of national origin or ethnic origin against poor foreign workers who lack the connections and relationships that might help them to access the influential figures, such as government officials or tribal leaders, with the lack of money as well are crucial to secure a pardon from death penalty , which contributed to saving many of the citizens of Saudi citizens from executions. The Legal Processes that impose the death penalty are cruel and largely clandestine and grossly unfair. Judges, all men, have the discretion to assess wide cases and can hand down death sentences for crimes other than violent and vaguely worded, Also some migrant workers did not know that they were sentenced to death only on the morning of their execution. The penalty is usually carried out by beheading, and is done in public in general. In some cases, the body of the accused Crucified after his execution. We Must make a strong stand to apply pressures on the Saudi government to stop the trial of this shepherd and not to be executed for a un logical reason - magic - especially since the shepherd did not cause any harm to the Saudi family, on the contrary all the family members praising his character and his good attitude to them and his dedication in their service. Together we MUST act to move the world opinion and human rights groups to stand against the execution of this poor shepherd from Sudan in Saudi Arabia Our Strong Standing in this Campaign to Save the Sudanese Shepherd is a victory to our Humanity
