New scandal has arisen in Italy, since the media announced two weeks ago for the abduction of the Italian journalist Gabrielle Torsello in Afghanistan. The journalist, known as “Kash” because of his articles regarding the Kashmir conflict, was kidnapped from a bus by gunmen, who are presumably members of the Taliban group.

The abduction is in result of another story, involving Abdul Rahman who has converted to Christianity. For this reason he was accused for abandoning Islam and he has to be persecuted according to the traditional law in Afghanistan, which provides for death penalty in such cases. Rahman has asked for a refuge in Italy and he has been accepted by the Italian government in March, this year. Since then, it was not clear which is his actual place of residence. The ravishers demanded the converter’s return in Afghanistan and announced a deadline to the Italian aid agency Emergency, but the agency officials did not provide any comment on the matter.

The online newspaper Peace Reporter published the statement of Lord Ahmed, a British peer who claimed the kidnapping as “an unjust act performed against a brother, since Kash is a Muslim”. Fears are growing up and any progress on the problem is being expected.
