Five men convicted of a terrorist conspiracy in the Australian city of Sydney have been handed jail sentences of between 23 and 28 years.The men were found guilty last year of charges such as possessing bomb-making instructions and explosives chemicals.
The exact details of the plot and the men's intended targets have never been specified, but their trial was the longest in Australian history.
They had shown contempt for the Australian government, its leaders and laws, he said.
When police raided the men's homes, they found "large quantities of literature which supported indiscriminate killing, mass murder and martyrdom in pursuit of violent jihad", said prosecutor Richard Maidment.
The trial, carried out in a purpose-built courthouse, heard there was overwhelming evidence the men wanted to create "at the very least, serious damage to property" and posed a "serious risk" to the public.
"Not even murderers get sentenced that much," the AFP news agency quoted the unnamed woman as saying.
"Twenty-three years, that's half of his life. It's not fair to him, our community or our religion."
thought crime. worse than murder.
i'm not a fan of islam, or islamists. but this is fucking stupid. a group of men, who have literature (i have violent literature, am i a criminal?), and object to the australian system (i object ot the australian system, am i a criminal?), get sentenced to over twenty years jail for conspiracy.
