(Brussels Times) Two prison guards have been found guilty of mistreating an infamous jihadist preacher accused of “perverting” a generation following his conviction for running a large radicalisation network in Brussels.
The two guards were accused of violently handling Khalid Zerkani, throwing him inside his cell and causing his head to bang against concrete, Bruzz reports.
Zerkani was convicted to 15 years in prison for operating a criminal network aimed at radicalising teens in Brussels and recruiting them as fighters for the Islamic State terror group in Syria, with prosecutors in the case referring to him as one of the IS’ main recruiters in Belgium and accusing him of “perverting a whole generation.”
