Please Release Afghan Journalist Perwez Kambakhsh

Parwez Kambakhsh, a 23 year old student of Balkh University, faculty of journalism was sentenced to death by a court in Afghanistan becausehe had copied an article from a website containing religions material.The article was originally published in an Iranian newspaper and questioned several tenets of Islam, including those relating to the rights of women.



It is clearly inhumane and anti justice to kill someone for copying an article, read and distribute it because the constitution of Afghanistan has given the right of freedom of expression to every one. Afghanistan signed the Universal Deceleration of Human Rights and government should respect to human rights and freedom.



This non democratic and anti humanism decision of court is not acceptable for human being and for human rights activists around the world. and this decision is condemned by all human rights organizations, civil societies, journalists unions and individuals in Afghanistan and the entire world.



This sentence will only strengthen the war-lords, the terrorists group who want their own dominance by imposing their self-made brutal laws and by keeping the society in ignorance.



We demand the government of Afghanistan to release Syed Perwez Kambakhsh and prove that the government respects human rights and freedom of expression.
