"Thank you for your answer. Mr Vitorino’s reply made no mention of the sixteen Afghans brought before the courts and accused of having converted from Islam to Christianity. These people are threatened with the death penalty under Islamic law.
My question to Mr Vitorino is: have we in the European Union, in our fight against the death penalty and in support of religious freedom, in any way acted on behalf of these people who are in actual fact threatened by the death penalty? In what way is the European Union taking action against all those Arab and Muslim countries – in practice, almost all of them – in which converting from Islam to Christianity is in actual fact punishable by death?
Irrespective of what happened in the United States on 11 September, we must be tireless in our campaign against the death penalty. My question is: What has happened to these sixteen Afghans who are in danger?"@en1
