On February 15, five men — Mohamed Ali Elomar, Khaled Cheikho, Moustafa Cheikho, Abdul Rakib Hasan and Mohammed Omar Jamal — who were convicted in October under “anti-terror” laws, were each sentenced in Parramatta court to between 23 and 28 years in jail. The shortest non-parole period was set at 17 years and three months.
The “anti-terror” laws introduced by the former Howard government allow for conviction for terrorist conspiracy on the basis of very broadly-defined intent. The five were not convicted of planning any specific act.Australia: Five Muslim Men Jailed for Thought-Crimes | Mostly Water
