Er...why don't you read your own article (obviously, you were too busy to read the/. summary to note which governmental body is involved)? FYI, in the Afghan system, there is a difference between a sharia court and the Senate. The Senate voted to support the sentence, and in the article you link to, then reversed its support. The guy still has a death sentence awaiting him until a higher court reverses it.
