Just had a coffee and a break from reading the mass of emails that came in yesterday while I was at work....Photo: Keiths Coffee in Cirencester - one of the best places for coffee in Gloucestershire - I even bumped into Princess Anne a long while back getting her coffee in there.
....and returned to computer to find this message below from a Green party colleague:
If you didn't see the Independent today, or know about this case already, then please take a moment to read and consider signing the petition - sometimes these petitions about a specific human rights case can make all the difference. A young man, a student of journalism, is sentenced to death by an Islamic court for downloading a report on women's rights from the internet. The sentence is then upheld by the country's rulers. This is Afghanistan – not in Taliban times but six years after "liberation" and under the democratic rule of the West's ally Hamid Karzai. The fate of Sayed Pervez Kambaksh has led to domestic and international protests, and deepening concern about erosion of civil liberties in Afghanistan.
