A judge in Afghanistan has sentenced four men to death following a lethal attack on a woman in Kabul, the Euro News website reports today (May 6, 2015).
The men were part of a mob that killed 27-year-old Farkhunda on a street in the Afghan capital on March 19.
Judge Safiullah Mujadidi gave eight other men sentences of 16 years, while 18 others were found not guilty due to lack of evidence.
Farkhunda was accused of setting fire to a copy of Islam's holy book, the Koran. She was severely beaten and then set on fire. Nineteen police officers will also be sentenced this week for their perceived inaction while she was being beaten and burned.
