Sources close to the CPVPV leadership in the Saudi
capital of Riyadh revealed that a number of legal
consultancies were studying the draft version and
procedural guidelines of this project. Asharq Al-Awsat
managed to obtain a copy of this draft which gives
the police the right to deal with witches and sorcerers,
and the means to identify and convict them.
A study of this project [to combat witchcraft and sorcery]
was carried out by the Center for Research and Study
which is affiliated to the CPVPV and which put a number of
legal opinions on the table including; a definition of magic,
witchcraft, divination, fortune-telling and other similar
practices, a scientific definition to magical practices, and a
model in order to help uncover such practices.
