Afghan Taliban Say Foreign Aid Workers Face Trial
An item for your believers persecuted and gospel preached to all files, the situation for those international aid workers arrested and charged with spreading Christianity has not improved. They have been denied consular access and will be forced to stand trial. Denial of consular access is a violation of the Vienna Convention. Of course, the Taliban never signed that particular convention and they are not the recognized sovereign authority in Afghanistan. One can hardly expect a group of armed thugs to have respect for international law.
