Sayed Pervez Kambaksh a man sentenced to death for downloading information on womens rights

[Blandmum]

Article in the Independent

There is an e-petition to raise the profile of this brave man who has been sentenced to death in Afghanistan for downloading information on women's rights from the internet.

Why did I just know this would be Afghanistan

appalling, isn't it? Regime we have backed appears to be no better than the bloody Taliban.

good god the poor man -

Oh how utterly depressing and upsetting. I have signed.

i've signed too.
how utterly depressing.

i want to get angry but its all so depressing i can even summon the energy to.

i have signed the petition though.

Oh God this is terrible. How do people justify this kind of irrational inhumane behaviour?

where is the e-petition, i would like to sign. this makes me so angry.

have signed

sugar sky high if you click on the article there is a link to the petition.

oh i'm an idiot, thanks , i have found the link to the petition and signed it. mamazon please get angry, get very angry!! is there anything else we can do?

have signed

I used to get extremely angry. X was in teh army and i still have a lot of friends still serving.
i know many who were injured in Afghanistan and the fact that it was all seemingly worthless, just depresses me.

bump

I signed this earlier today at work. just bumping for you

done.

bump.

mamazon there are people who do appreciate everything you & yr colleagues have done / are doing, whether they agree with the over-riding politics or not, and I think it's a shame we are in times now where it is not PC to say thank you for that

This was a linked article

have signed

Signed and sent on to all I know.

Signed it too

.

From what I read in the torygraph a few days ago, this is as much to punish his brother (who criticised the regime) as it is about the percieved insult to Islam by Kambaksh himself. I have signed but I suspect that the petition will have zero effect on getting the poor sod released.

I read this in the Indie this morning. I was wondering if it is connected to Hamid Karzai's recent u-turn on accepting Paddy Ashdown as a special envoy to Afghanistan. Apparently Kharzai has upheld the sharia court's decision to execute this man.

have signed for me and dh..
i weep for afghanistan, the afghan refugees in have met here have been such wonderful people. So sad
