In the Quran apostacy is mention several times,with none of them prescribing death sentences.They are only promised with hellfire.
"Those who believe,then disbelieve,then believe again,then disbelief,and then increase in their disbelief-Allah will never forgive them nor guide them to the path."
Sura An-Nisa 4:137
The hadith "Kill anyone who change their religion" is only transmitted by one individual,and was not confirmed by other Narrator.This hadith need further speculations
And there's a story confirmed this:
"In one incident,the prophet pardoned Abdullah bin Sa'd,after he renounced Islam.After spending some time in Madina,he recanted and returned to the religion of Quraisyh.When he was brought to the Prophet,he subsquently pardoned Abdullah bin Sa'd (Ibn Hisham).
The incident where an Afghanistan guy were executed for conversion toward Christianity is a propaganda.He leave Islam 15 years during Taliban reign.He was unharmed during that time.It was Hamid Karzai who execute him
