Student Facing 20yrs in Hell

Quote:
Sayed Pervez Kambaksh, the student journalist sentenced to death for blasphemy in Afghanistan, has been told he will spend the next 20 years in jail after the country's highest court ruled against him – without even hearing his defence.
The 23-year-old, brought to worldwide attention after an Independent campaign, was praying that Afghanistan's top judges would quash his conviction for lack of evidence, or because he was tried in secret and convicted without a defence lawyer. Instead, almost 18 months after he was arrested for allegedly circulating an article about women's rights, any hope of justice and due process evaporated amid gross irregularities, allegations of corruption and coercion at the Supreme Court. Justices issued their decision in secret, without letting Mr Kambaksh's lawyer submit so much as a word in his defence.

I'm furious, that Afghanistan accepts our help in helping to restore some order to their country while they allow this kind of judicial craziness. This is what our troops are dying for??
FU Afghanistan, if you cant move past Sharia law, we should pull all our people out of there asap. Afghanistan should be under UN sanctions not under Nato and US protection.
