"The idea that any individual in any country should face execution for downloading information from the internet is as abhorrent as it is incomprehensible. That this should be happening in a nation whose government benefits from the military and financial support of Western countries, Britain included, should give us great pause for thought. Pervez Kabaksh, 23, is a student at an Afghan university and a journalist. He was arrested last year after downloading material about the role of women in Islamic societies. We can well imagine that the material was not flattering to, or particularly consonant with, some of the precepts of Islam."

My country takes part in the invasion of another country some 3,500 miles away on entirely false grounds, engages in a genocide against its population and after more than six year of occupation, my country’s ‘liberal’, ‘humanitarian’ newspaper launches a campaign against the persecution of an individual by the puppet government of that country to divert attention from what’s really happening there (see the links below).
Sorry to offend those sitting on the fence, but this is nothing but blatant imperialism!
