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.

This "crime" and disproportionate outrageous penalty has caused international community to act and collect more than 100.000 signatures to free poor student from his oppression. Today I have read that he has been finally freed by Karzai after 20 months spent in prison and he left the country. It is releaving but sad information, because it shows what level of human rights enjoy inhabitants this country. It is also clearly demonstrating that US military intervention in fact did almost nothing to improve the situation of Afghan people - there is no freedom of speech and conscience in that land of perpetual war.
