Pervez death sentence quashed by Afghan court
A Kabul appeals court has quashed a death sentence imposed on the Afghan student Sayed Pervez Kambaksh for downloading information from the internet on women's rights.
The judges ruled however, that the 24-year-old trainee journalist should serve 20 years in jail – a decision Mr Kambaksh's lawyers insisted was unconstitutional and should be overturned by the country's supreme court.
There are some crimes that warrant 20 years in prison. However, this should not even be a crime let alone one that carries a 20 year sentence.
