The Taliban have sentenced the brother of an Afghan translator to death, accusing him of helping the US and providing security to his brother, who served as an interpreter to American troops, CNN reports.

A letter told the man that he had been found “guilty in absentia” and sentenced to death for his “servitude to the invading crusaders.”

It adds: “These court decisions are final and you will not have the right to object.”

A huge part of the Eritrean economy is Eritrian refugees working around the world and becoming citizens of say Canada and sending money back to Eritrea. Who is going to send money back home to Afghanistan if it will put their brother in danger.

F*** them.
