(AP) – 16 hours ago

BEIRUT — The wife of a Lebanese TV psychic is appealing for her husband’s release just months after he escaped beheading in Saudi Arabia, which convicted him of witchcraft.

Samira Rahmoon held a small protest on Friday outside the government building in Beirut. She says Lebanese officials promised her that her husband would soon return home.

Ali Sibat was arrested by the Saudi religious police during a pilgrimage in the kingdom in May 2008. He was sentenced to death last November on charges of practicing witchcraft.
