(Times of Malta) Seven Syrian men, in preventive custody since their arraignment in May over suspicious jihadist activity on social media, are claiming a breach of their right to a fair hearing since their continued arrest was not reviewed fortnightly in terms of the law.
Ajil Al Muhsen, 21, Adnan Maashi, 21, Yazan Abdulaziz, 26, Ahmed Kadas, 25, Khalil Al Hamoud, 21, Ahmed Ahmed, 27, and Mohammed Mohammed, 24, were targeted by police investigations after their social media activity raised suspicion.
They were eventually charged with terrorism.
The men fled Syria and travelled to Malta in 2017 when Syrian government forces drove out the ISIS terrorist group from the area where they lived.
