Injustice In Afghanistan

I'm sure that most of you have heard accounts of the Islamic faith. In the Middle East, many are punished, some severely, for going against certain Islamic beliefs. A troubling story about a young college student, convicted, and sentenced to death, has brought international attention to his case. Please read the following story and then sign the petition connected with it.

The Story :

How he was sentenced to die.
'What they call my trial lasted just four minutes in a closed court. I was told that I was guilty and the decision was that I was going to die'

Clutching the bars at his prison, Sayed Pervez Kambaksh recalls how his life unravelled. "There was no question of me getting a lawyer to represent me in the case; in fact I was not even able to speak on my own defence."
The 23-year-old student, whose death sentence for downloading a report on women's rights from the internet has become an international cause célèbre, was speaking to The Independent at his jail in Mazar-i-Sharif – the first time the outside world has heard his own account of his shattering experience. In a voice soft, somewhat hesitant, he said: "The judges had made up their mind about the case without me. The way they talked to me, looked at me, was the way they look at a condemned man. I wanted to say 'this is wrong, please listen to me', but I was given no chance to explain."
