The independent today launched a campaign to save him and please if you have time sign here.
Mr Kambaksh sin was distributing “the tract to fellow students and teachers at Balkh University with the aim, he said, of provoking a debate on the matter. But a complaint was made against him and he was arrested, tried by religious judges without – say his friends and family – being allowed legal representation and sentenced to death”.
This in a country which is being heavily subsidized by large donations from the UN and British, American goverments.
Petition signed.
Reminds me of the Abdul Rahman case but this sounds even worse. Most people don’t know that the penalty for apostasy in islamic countries is death.
All religious courts should be banned by the UN in my opinion.
