Afghan Student Gets 20 Years For Blasphemy
Invisible Pink Unicorn writes "Despite nationwide public support for his initial death sentence, a three-judge appeals court has reduced the sentence of Sayed Parwez Kambakhsh to 20 years in prison. Kambakhsh was charged with circulating an article on women's rights that he found online. From the article: 'Family members have said Kambakhsh was beaten and threatened with death until he signed a confession and that local journalists who expressed support for him were warned they would be arrested if they persisted.'"
Isn't it about time we just scorched that shithole once and for all? Then our friends and family could come home.
Despite being human beings, someone please name one redeeming feature of afghani people?
As far as we know, womens' rights is not blasphemy. Charging it as such just puts another peg in the 'cons' column.
They're using their grammar skills there.
since when does referring to Texas as an "idiot state" not get modded as troll? Slashdot is becoming more like digg every day.
