Four Afghan men have been sentenced to death over a mob attack in which a woman was beaten to death after being falsely accused of burning the Koran.
The 28-year-old woman called Farkhunda was accused of burning the Koran, although witnesses say she did not.
It took just four days for the verdicts to be reached. Eight other men were sentenced to 16 years in prison and 18 others found not guilty.
The incident led to widespread protests against the treatment of women.
Nineteen policemen who were accused of failing in their duty to prevent the attack are still waiting for the decision in their case, expected next week.
Farkhunda was beaten to death and her body then burned on 19 March.
She had argued with a mullah, or religious teacher, about his practice of selling charms to women at a shrine.
In the course of the argument she was accused of burning the Koran and a crowd overheard and attacked her.
In confession statements read in court, some of the accused admitted they had been drawn in by the claims. An official investigator has said there is no evidence she burned the Koran.
