In the first case, the court reduced the sentence from 8 to 7 years in jail for A.M, while it confirmed the initial sentence of 3 years in prison for A.S, following their conviction for “forming a criminal gang to prepare and perpetrate terrorist acts and apology of terrorist acts and organization”.

In the second case, the court reduced the initial sentence from 8 to 5 years in jail for M.B, convicted of “forming a criminal gang as part of an individual project aimed at undermining public order and apology of acts constituting a terrorist crime.”

The court also held a trial in absentia in the third case, affirming the initial sentence of 2 years in prison against C.L, following his conviction for “apology of acts constituting a terrorist crime”.
