Jordan jails men for waving IS flag at wedding
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA court in Jordan on Monday has ordered six men jailed for waving the Islamic State group’s flag and singing jihadist slogans at a wedding.
The state security court sentenced two defendants to five years in prison for “carrying out acts that expose the Kingdom to the risk of hostile acts and ruining relations with foreign states.”
The remaining four have been sentenced in absentia to 15 years, after they failed to show up for trial.
The defendants were arrested shortly after the wedding in September in the northern city of Irbid, according to the indictment seen by AFP.
