HT RoP : Indonesia jails hardline Muslim for terrorism offenses. Critics say three-year term for former Islamic Defenders Front secretary-general is not long enough.
Read it all here.........An Indonesian court has sentenced a senior member of a banned hardline Muslim group to three years in prison for terrorism offenses. Critics said the sentence was far too lenient considering the gravity of the crime committed.
Munarman, 53, who like many Indonesians goes by only one name, is a former secretary-general of the now-outlawed Islamic Defenders Front, a group responsible for inciting violence against religious minorities including Christians. He was found guilty by the East Jakarta District Court on April 6 of assisting terrorists in carrying out terrorist acts.
Munarman had close links with and helped terror organizations such as Jamaah Ansharut Daulah (JAD), a local terrorist outfit affiliated to the Islamic State group, according to the court. JAD has been held responsible for various bomb attacks on churches including a suicide bomb attack on a Catholic cathedral in Makassar, South Sulawesi province, on Palm Sunday last year.
