Kabul---An Afghan court Tuesday sentenced 11 policemen to one year in prison for failing to protect a woman who was lynched by a mob in Kabul after being falsely accused of blasphemy.
"You are sentenced... for negligence of duty to one year in prison," Judge Safiullah Mojaddidi told the 11 defendants, which included senior officers, while eight other policemen were found not guilty.
