Torture claim by Afghan journalist

The appeal by Sayed Parwez Kambakhsh against the death sentence passed on him in January has been delayed following his lawyer's revelation that the young journalist had been tortured while in prison. He is to be examined to determine the truth of the allegations. Kambakhsh has been in detention for seven months since being accused of downloading allegedly anti-Islamic material from the internet.
