Death Sentence for 23 yr. Old Journalist

There is a young journalist condemned to Death for downloading an aricle about Muslim practices from the internet. He was tried in Afghanistan without a lawyer, any family present, or any support. The Afghan court ruled his internet activity blaphemous and gave him the death sentence. It seems the article which he downloaded and passed out to his friends questioned the Muslim practice of Muslim men having 4 wifes but Muslim women could not have 4 husbands.
