The AP story Rebecca put up earlier says that Rahman’s case was dropped for “lack of evidence.” However, this RTE News story, “Rahman to be freed in Afghan case review,” says otherwise:
An Afghan man who has been charged with converting from Islam to Christianity is to be freed while his case is reviewed.
Earlier today, a judge in Kabul dismissed the prosecution because of doubts over his mental state.
As I noted here, the idea that Abdul Rahman is insane is a more or less clever attempt to please both the irresistable force of Afghanistan’s allegiance to Sharia and the immoveable object of American presence and pressure.
Officials say the man, Abdul Rahman, will be released from custody soon.
Who will protect him from raging Sharia-minded mobs when he is freed?
