Like him, many people have landed on death row for being psychics, and even people who don't claim to be psychics have received the death sentence because other people claimed they were witches, or sorcerers.
There are cases like Fawza Falih, a 51 year old woman who was accused by a man that she was the cause of his impotence, and she landed in deathrow in which she has been since 2006.
This is inconcievable, but it is happening. So remember, don't make any claims of being psychic, and you still take a risk if you visit Saudi Arabia, more so if you are a woman, and if some man proposes to you and you don't accept but then the man accuses you of being a witch, which will land you in death row....
Part of the article also states.
“Saudi courts are sanctioning a literal witch hunt by the religious police,” Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East director at Human Rights Watch, said in a news release. “The crime of ‘witchcraft’ is being used against all sorts of behavior, with the cruel threat of state-sanctioned executions.”
Judging from previous witchcraft convictions in Saudi Arabia, anyone who publicly displays what authorities describe as suspicious behavior risks becoming a target of the religious police.

The dictates of some countries is still so backwards, and so barbaric to this day and age that it almost feels like it is some horror movie, and not real life, but unfortunately it is happening.

Not a problem, though, I vow to never return to that gawdforsaken holy
land again, at least not in
this present lifetime.
