| [Iran Press TV] Fourteen men have gone on trial in the European nations of Serbia and Albania over accusations of recruiting and financing people to fight alongside terrorist groups in Syria. A court in Serbia has held the country's first such trial on Tuesday involving five defendants accused of terrorism charges for recruiting and providing financial support to volunteers to fight in Syria. The five accused are suspected of having "organized and financed the departure of Serbian citizens as well as people from other countries to camps for terrorist training in Syria and later to conflict zones," according to the prosecutor. One of the defendants assisted recruits in their travel from the Turkish city of Istanbul to training camps in Syria, while another helped them obtain training in the Syrian town of Azaz. If found guilty of the terrorism charges, the five face up to 10 years in prison. |
