"Mr President, the European Parliament is calling upon the Taliban regime in Afghanistan to facilitate the activities of voluntary organisations when it comes to supplying food and urgent humanitarian aid to the Afghan people. Why are thousands of people fleeing in droves from Afghanistan? What kind of regime is it that is governing the country?
The Christian aid organisation, Shelter Now International has just recently been excluded from Afghanistan and forced to discontinue its activities. Eight of its employees – including four from an EU country, Germany, two from the United States and two from Australia – have this week been put on trial in Kabul for alleged Christian missionary activity. The prosecutor is demanding the death penalty. Sixteen Afghans are also being put on trial in accordance with the same Muslim law and threatened with the death penalty for having converted people from Islam to Christianity. Mr Patten, Mr Michel and also Mr Solana are acting to protect these people."@en1
