Join Demo to demand Kambakhsh's freedom

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | event notice author Friday February 01, 2008 18:06author by pat c Report this post to the editors

Since October 2007, Parwiz Kambakhsh, a 23 year old Afghan journalist, has been in prison in Balkh province, Northern Afghanistan and sentenced to execution for blasphemy by a local Sharia court in Mazar-e-Sharif.

Join the demonstration on
Friday, February 8, 2008,
12.00 to 2.00 pm
Afghanistan Embassy,
31 Princes Gate, London, SW7


Parwiz Kambakhsh
Parwiz Kambakhsh

His ‘crime’ was distributing articles downloaded from the internet that questioned the condition of women under Islam. The Afghan government has supported the Islamic court’s ruling.

The Iranian Secular Society calls upon groups and individuals to join the protest against this barbaric sentence and demand the immediate and unconditional release of Kambakhsh, including by joining the London protest, organising protests in various cities, writing letters of protest and more.

The protestors were not brave.
They were in no danger of being dragged away by secret police or tortured etc.

It's called free speech and it's NOT free .

I have studied the face of the guy and I can say that he is a fine individual.

I wish him well and hope he makes his way out of that hell hole.

We women need more enlightening male like Pervez who dare to debate about women's rights in Islam and all the brilliant supporters such as the brave protesters today! Thank you and hopefully Pervez will be brought to the UK as he deserves such protection!

Heres a report on the demo. Full text at the link at the end of this comment. More pictures at: http://www.iransecularsociety.com/London%20Protest%20Ka...h.htm

Protestors picketed the Afghanistan Embassy in London to call for the immediate release of Parwiz Kambakhsh. The protest, organised by the Iranian Secular Society, was in response to the arrest, jailing and death sentence imposed on Parwiz Kambakhsh for downloading and discussing the plight of women under Islam.

Officials of the Afghan embassy met outside with protestors to state that the death sentence against Kambakhsh will be commuted. Protestors insisted upon his immediate released saying he had committed no crime. They also expressed their concern regarding Kambakhsh’s physical and emotional safety as he has been left at the mercy of and beaten by other common prisoners, including Taliban prisoners, who had been told by prison guards that he has ‘blasphemed’ against Islam.
