(Brussels Times) A court in Mechelen sentenced an Afghan man on Tuesday to a four-year suspended prison term for his involvement in the activities of two terrorist organisations.
The man was found guilty of creating social media accounts for members of the Islamic State and its Khorasan Province branch (IS-KP), which operates in Asia. He also faced charges for disseminating and facilitating propaganda for these groups.
He had initially been arrested in Afghanistan in July 2020 and admitted to the charges at that time. However, after being released, he fled to Belgium, where he allegedly continued his activities, a claim he denies.
