Man sentenced to die for insulting God and Prophet

A Turkish barber who was sentenced to death by a Jeddah court on charges of blasphemy will have his case heard in an Appeals Court in Mecca next week, press reports said.

Sabri Bogday was sentenced to die after two men told authorities that he had sworn at God and the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) at his barbershop in Jeddah early last year, Saudi's English-language daily Arab News reported.

Bogday admitted to his crime at Jeddah General Court last June and did not challenge the men's testimonies. But at the final court hearing, he denied that he swore at God and the Prophet. He was sentenced to die on March 31.

Arab News said the death sentence was based on a “hadd” ruling -- a clear verdict based on laws from the Quran and Sunnah -- meaning King Abdullah would not be able to intervene and issue a pardon.
