An Indonesian court on Monday sentenced Jemaah Islamiyah leader Para Wijayanto to seven years in jail for planning allegedly terrorism acts.
At a Jakarta court hearing done via videoconference due to coronavirus pandemic, Wijayanto and deputy Budi Trikaryanto were sentenced to seven and six-and-a-half years in jail respectively.
Wijayanto was accused of preparing cadres to go to Syria as well as supporting them financially while on the mission.

Jemaah Islamiyah is a transnational organization with members in Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines. (ILKHA)
