(Afghanistan International) Jean-Louis Denis, a Belgian Islamist preacher, who was sentenced to five years in prison in 2016 for recruiting young people for jihad, has traveled to Afghanistan.
His visit to Afghanistan has raised concerns about his possible links to jihadist groups operating in the region.
French television channel TF1 reported that the Belgian Islamist preacher had recently announced in a video that he had traveled to Afghanistan after serving his sentence in Belgium.
He also stated that his goal is to live “according to the principles of Sharia” and “show the true face of Afghanistan.”
In the video, which was posted on YouTube, Jean-Louis Denis said that he went to Kunduz. He said he lives near an orphanage and plans to support it with a project.
