Setting up a mock gallows with a dummy o
Setting up a mock gallows with a dummy on a rope, about 25 Lebanese human rights activists protest outside the Saudi embassy in Beirut on April 1, 2010 against capital punishment as Lebanon's envoy to Riyadh said he has yet to be informed of a Saudi decision to behead a Lebanese former TV presenter convicted of sorcery, which was expected to be carried out this week. Ali Sabat, a 46-year-old father of five, was arrested in May 2008 by the religious police in Medina, where he was on a pilgrimage. According to Amnesty International, he was sentenced to death by a Medina court in 2009 for practising "sorcery" because he "gave advice and predictions about the future" on a Lebanese television programme.
