Just In Case You Were Wondering - Kambakhsh Still Sits on Death Row


Outrageous blasphemer and, worse, journalism student, Pervez Kambakhsh still languishes in an Afghan prison cell and still has a date with the hangman.

Balk Province Attorney-General Qazi Hafizullah Khaliqyar told The Independent:

"Of course we didn't intend to violate any rights of journalists. The media law clearly prohibits insulting religious values and beliefs. [Journalists] can't violate the values of Islam and they have to keep that in mind," Khaliqyar says. Kambakhsh "has been referred to an Islamic court and would be dealt with according to Shari'a law."

As long as we've got the planes and the bombs over there anyway, how 'bout we send a few Khaliqyar's way where they could really do some good.
