There is another Catholic convert accused of blasphemy who has been sentenced to death in Afghanistan. He is regularly beaten, tortured, and sexually abused in prison. I posted the story here of Musa Sayed last week. He is still alive.
Agenzia Fides: “The news of David’s death has shocked us. Yesterday we interrupted our Lenten spiritual retreat to address the situation. We have contacted the prison authorities and spoken with the detainee who shred David’s cell. He told us that David was fine but he was very afraid. Given that he was accused of blasphemy, he was often badly beaten. The story of a heart attack is unconvincing,” Fr Rodriguez notes to Fides. Read more on this here.
