Mohamed El Gharbi and Karim Abdeselam sentenced to seven and a half years in prison. Sentenced for sending letters to prisoners convicted of jihadism with the aim of keeping them united.

Sentence represents another chapter in an intricate judicial case. The two convicted and the acquitted one already sat on the bench alongside Abderrahmanen Tahiri and Lahcen Zamzami, accused of forming the jihadist “prison front” But, before hearing took place, Tahiri vanished and the new court acquitted the third accused.
