---------- Forwarded message ---------- Not long ago, another alumnus sent out an email about a young Afghan journalist who was sentenced to death for blasphemy and other crimes against Islam. The sentence for the journalist, Sayed Parwez Kambakhsh, was handed down after a cursory trial in sharia court, in which Parwez was denied any legal representation. That case is scheduled to be appealed in Kabul in the coming weeks. His brother works as a journalist for an international media development organization, the Institute for War & Peace Reporting (IWPR). IWPR's Afghanistan Country Director, Jean MacKenzie, will be in New York and Washington in late April and would be available for interviews or meetings if any of you would like to know more about the case. She'd likely be able to put folks in touch directly with Parwez's brother, Yakub Ibrahimi, for interviews on the upcoming appeal as well. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- http://geekentertainment.tv [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
