Student Sentenced to Death For Downloading an Article

A 23-year-old student in Afghanistan is currently sitting on death row because he downloaded an article on women's roles in Islam on the Internet. Seen as blasphemy, the young man now faces death.

A video worth spreading to hopefully stop something unfathomnable.
