How is doing student sentenced to death in Afghanistan?

I have recently reminded myself about the situation of the young student, Sayed Pervez Kambaksh from Afghanistan imprisoned and sentenced to death by authorities (mostly hardline Islamists). His only grave crime was to download the report about womens' right from United Nations agency web site. It is worth to mention that this happened under rule of Karzai and while american troops present in Afghanistan.

Those persons sometimes support in general science (and evolution) in their specific sense of but they just do not like the idea that conclusions of science may contradict their deeply hold beliefs and expose them as false.
