"Mr President, on 22 January 2008 the primary court in Afghanistan’s northern province of Balkh sentenced to death Perwiz Kambakhsh, a 23-year-old journalism student writing in the local newspaper, for downloading an article on women’s rights from the internet and distributing it electronically. The trial took place without any right of defence. The accused was beaten and a confession extracted by brutal treatment.
We demand that the Afghan authorities release Perwiz Kambakhsh and that the Afghan Government restore respect for human rights, especially the right to life. May I be so bold as to hope that Afghanistan will rapidly introduce a moratorium on execution of the death penalty."@en1
