NEW RULE

Freedom implies free.

On Tuesday, twenty-three year old Sayad Parwez Kambaksh received a death sentence. Kambaksh’s crime? He distributed internet material. Allegedly, the material violates Islam. Allegedly, Afghanistan is a democracy.

Democracy demands independence. Government criticism is acceptable. Religious criticism is acceptable. Death for disapproval? This is unacceptable. Afghanistan’s democracy may be young. However, they warrant excoriation. For paper distribution, America would never execute.
