Abdul Rahman, 41, faces a possible death penalty in Afghanistan for converting from Islam to Christianity 16 years ago. He has been charged with rejecting Islam, a crime under that country's Islamic laws.
Rahman's trial started last week, but a state prosecutor said Wednesday that he may be mentally unfit to stand trial. Moayuddin Baluch, a religious adviser to President Hamid Karzai, said Rahman would undergo a psychological examination and the case will be dropped if he's found mentally unfit.
