The UN in Afghanistan has criticised a court's decision to sentence a journalist to death for blasphemy.
The UN mission said the reporter, Perwiz Kambakhsh, did not have legal representation - which was a possible misuse of the judicial process.
It has called for a review of Kambaksh's conviction for distributing an article that criticised Islam.
He was arrested in 2007 after downloading material relating to the role of women in Islamic societies.
