Well, this is depressing.
This article contains details about a man in Afghanistan who has been sentenced to death for downloading and reading an article on women's rights.
He was accused of blasphemy after he downloaded a report from a Farsi website which stated that Muslim fundamentalists who claimed the Koran justified the oppression of women had misrepresented the views of the prophet Mohamed.
There is a petition here to the government to put all possible pressure on the Afghan government to prevent his execution. Take a look?
*Sigh* Oh, world.
