Record summary
Muree bin Ali bin Issa al-Asiri was reported executed by Saudi Arabia in 2012 after conviction for sorcery and related offenses. Amnesty International and other organizations treated the case as evidence of severe due-process concerns and the criminalization of alleged occult practice. It provides a specific comparison point with later Saudi cases involving fortune-telling, healing claims, and coercive confessions. Researchers should consult the original rights documentation and Saudi announcements for the precise charge and procedural history. Nothing in the case verifies sorcery as a phenomenon.
