A court in Afghanistan has sentenced four men to death and jailed eight more for the beating death of a woman in March.
A mob killed 27-year-old Farkhunda in March after accusing her of burning a Quran. Wednesday morning, her mother asked a courtroom in Kabul to get justice for her daughter.
Farkhunda’s violent death led to protests and demands for action. Thirty civilians and 19 police officers were arrested and charged with either taking part in the attack or failing to stop it.
