Afghanistan citizen could face death for becoming a Christian:
KABUL, Afghanistan (BP)--Four years removed from the ouster of the Taliban, an Afghanistan citizen is being tried in court for converting from Islam to Christianity and could face the death penalty.

Abdul Rahman, 41, was arrested in February after his family turned him in, the presiding judge told the Associated Press. He reportedly has been a Christian for some 16 years.

"I am a Christian and I believe in Jesus Christ," he told the judge, according to Voice of America news service.

Technically, Rahman is being tried for rejecting Islam, and not for embracing Christianity. According to Voice of America, Rahman would have two appeals to higher courts if found guilty. President Hamid Karzai would have to approve the execution -- a move that could bring significant pressure on him from religious rights groups worldwide, the news service stated.
