Beheaded 18th-century Swiss 'witch' pardoned

Anna Goeldi, the last witch executed in Europe, was granted a posthumous pardon Wednesday, more than 200 years after she was beheaded for a young girl's death, the domestic ATS news agency said.

Legislators in the eastern canton of Glarus voted unanimously to exonerate Goeldi -- publicly put to death in 1782 for "poisoning" an eight-year-old girl with pins -- on grounds she had been subjected to an "illegal trial."

"The witch will continue to live as a symbolic figure, attracting attention for her injustice," the Glarus cantonal government said, although the local Protestant church and right-wing Swiss People's Party opposed the move.

By way of amends, the Glarus parliament earmarked 120,000 Swiss francs ($109,000 US) toward a play about her life.

A museum dedicated to her is already open in Glarus.

Up to 100,000 people were burned alive in Europe on suspicion of sorcery, mainly between the 15th and late 17th centuries, according to historians. Eighty per cent were women.
