(AFP) A Danish court on Wednesday sentenced three leaders of an Iranian Arab separatist group to between six and eight years in prison after they were convicted of spying for Saudi Arabia.
Two members of the ASMLA (Arab Struggle Movement for the Liberation of Ahvaz), which Iran brands a terrorist group, will also be deported after completing their sentence, the court in Roskilde, west of Copenhagen, announced in a statement.
The movement’s leader Habib Yabor Kabi was sentenced to eight years in prison and his brother Tamim Farouk Beck to seven years.
Kabi’s son-in-law Jacob Mohamed, a Danish citizen, was sentenced to serve six years behind bars.
