Canadian bishops condemn Afghan death sentence

Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon
Musa Sayed is an Afghani amputee who is currently in prison in Afghanistan. He has worked for the International Committee of the Red Cross for some 15 years, and has specialized in fitting children with prostheses. He is a married man and the father of six young children. Now he's scheduled to be executed later this week in Afghanistan for having converted to Christianity from Islam.

Read the letter from Archbishop Brendan M. O'Brien, Chairman of the CCCB Human Rights Committee, to Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon, asking for intervention in the case.
