Afghan senate's blasphemy retreat 
By Charles Haviland 
BBC News, Kabul  



The upper house of parliament in Afghanistan has
withdrawn its support for a death sentence issued
against a journalist convicted of blasphemy. 
Pervez Kambakhsh, 23, was found guilty last week of
downloading and distributing an article insulting
Islam. He denies the charge. 

Legal experts said that the senate's support for the
sentence on Wednesday was unconstitutional. 

The UN said that Mr Kambaksh was not legally
represented during his case. 

Critics say that the senate's intervention interfered
with the judicial process. 


'Technical mistake' 

The senate has now backtracked, one day later. 

Its secretary, Aminuddin Muzafari, told journalists
its statement had been a "technical mistake". 


He asked the media to make it clear that the senate
did respect the legal rights of Mr Kambakhsh,
including the right to a defence lawyer. 

But it also said it approved the judiciary's
prosecution of cases involving what it called the
distribution of anti-Islamic articles. 

As the statement of support was withdrawn, about 200
Afghans demonstrated in Kabul against the sentencing
of Mr Kambakhsh. 

A court in the northern city of Mazar-e-Sharif
convicted him of downloading and distributing a blog
article which questioned the Koran's attitude to
women. 

Mr Kambaksh is appealing to higher courts against the
death sentence. 

His family say his trial was unfair because, among
other things, he was not given a defence counsel. 

But the governor in Mazar-e-Sharif says the case is
being handled with due process. 

The earlier senate statement supporting the death
sentence was signed by its leader, Sibghatullah
Mojaddedi, an ally of President Hamid Karzai. 

The president would have to approve the death sentence
for it to be carried out.
