Ali Sibat, a 49-year-old Lebanese tv psychic on a pilgrimmage to Mecca, was arrested back in November on witchcraft, tried very quickly, and condemmed to death. Because of a public outcry, Saudi officials stayed the execution, and now may have decided to repatriate Mr. Sibat. But I cannot find any indication that he has returned to Lebanon, where being a psychic is not a crime. His wife indicated in mid-June that she was still waiting for his release. I haven't been able to find any updated information on his case.
