lpv:translated text	"Question No 12 by Lennart Sacrédeus (): In Afghanistan, a prosecutor has brought 16 Afghans before a court in Kabul demanding that they be sentenced to death. They are being charged with conversion from Islam to Christianity, and the prosecutor is demanding the death penalty for all of them in accordance with the Taliban regime's Islamic laws. In a trial taking place at the same time in Kabul, eight aid workers with Shelter Now International have been charged with carrying out Christian missionary work. Here, too, the prosecution is calling for all of them to be sentenced to death in accordance with the country's Islamic laws. Germany, the USA and Australia are making diplomatic efforts to protect the eight aid workers' interests and ensure legal certainty. In a previous answer I received in the Chamber, the Commission stated that the three countries had said the European Union therefore does not need to become involved in the case. However, there have been no international diplomatic efforts, on the part either of individual countries or of the European Union, to assist the 16 Afghans who have been charged. Throughout the world, the European Union actively supports the abolition of the death penalty and religious freedom based on tolerance and respect for different beliefs. How is this reflected in the Council's actions in the case of the 16 Afghans who have changed religion? What is the European Union doing, via the Council, to follow and monitor the trial of the 16 Afghans facing the death penalty in Kabul, and to influence its outcome, and what concrete steps have been taken to ensure that they enjoy legal certainty and protection and that their lives are spared?"@en1
