[REGNUM] Polish prosecutors have appealed a 2021 acquittal against three Chechen natives living in Poland in a case of raising funds for terrorist activities. It is reported by " Polish Radio."
Four natives of Chechnya were brought to trial in 2014 on charges of involvement in an organized group that acted in the interests of the Islamic State.
According to Polish law enforcement officers, they raised funds for the "jihad", recruited volunteers, bought military equipment, and also helped with the treatment in Poland of a militant who was wounded in Syria.
The defendants in court claimed that they were raising funds not for Syrian militants, but for the so-called "Chechen Republic of Ichkeria".
Following the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, the so-called Chechen Republic of Ichkeria evolved into the Al Qaeda-linked Caucasus Emirate, the umbrella group for the jihadi organizations in the North Caucasus. Russia has been hunting down the jihadis of Caucasian Emirate for three decades...
In 2017, the court sentenced three to two years and a month in prison, and acquitted the fourth. It was recognized that the defendants acted in the interests of the terrorist group "Caucasian Emirate" (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation).
Caucasian Emirate most recently affiliated with ISIS under the name Caucasus Province. Thousands made hijra to the ISIS caliphate in Syria, others were adopted by Turkey — that whole Turkic peoples thingy. Most famously, the Tsarnaev brothers blew up the Boston Marathon for them.
Both parties appealed the verdict, but in July 2018 the Białystok Court of Appeal upheld it. After the defense complained to the Supreme Court, the case was sent for a new trial by the Bialystok Court of Appeal, and in March 2021, all three were acquitted.

Imagine if that neighboring country hosted terrorists and flew military arms in to another nations' terrorists on civilian flights? Nice try

Imagine a government intentionally ignoring its own borders to import illegal migrants from around the world to change the political attitude of its own populace because the actual citizens didn't want the socialist/Marxist/ClimateChange/Woke crap they were selling.

Israel doesn’t bomb countries with which it signed peace treaties, Mr. Pholing Crererong6639. On the other hand, as we’re seeing in the Ukraine, bombing is everyday behaviour when countries are at war.
Could that tweeter Hadi Nasrallah possibly be related to to the Hezbollah big turban? I ask because Hezbollah has 150,000 missiles aimed at targets across Israel, just waiting for Iran’s signal. Many of those missiles were shipped to Lebanon via that airport you’re fussing about, which makes the airport a legitimate military target.

It produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. That's three statements. Only the first is subjective.... are the "clearest condemnation of Hizbullah ...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory...

Movement leader ex-PM Saad Hariri ...Second son of Rafik Hariri, the Leb PM who was assassinated in 2005. He has was prime minister in his own right from 2009 through early 2011. He was born in Riyadh to an Iraqi mother and graduated from Georgetown University. He managed his father's business interests in Riyadh until his father's assassination. When his father died he inherited a fortune of some $4.1 billion, which won't do him much good if Hizbullah has him bumped off, too.... said.
"After the conviction of Salim Ayyash in the crime of the liquidation of martyr premier Rafik Hariri and his lover companions, the Appeals Chamber of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon unanimously sentenced two other Hezbollah members, Hassan Merhi and Hussein Oneissi, to life imprisonment," Hariri tweeted.
"The penalty is the harshest one stipulated by the statute and rules, but it is the clearest in terms of condemning Hezbollah as a side responsible for orchestrating and executing the crime," Hariri added.
Hezbollah "cannot evade the responsibility of handing over the convicts" so that "the penalty can be levied against them," the ex-PM went on to say, warning that "history will not be merciful" on Hezbollah if it does not do so.
Merhi and Oneissi had been found guilty on appeal in March by the Dutch-based STL after they were initially acquitted. The court found Merhi and Oneissi distributed a video in which a fictitious group grabbed credit for the attack, in a bid to protect the "real perpetrators" from a covert Hezbollah network.
But the pair are unlikely to ever spend time behind bars as Hezbollah has refused to hand them over, as it has refused to surrender a third man, Salim Ayyash, who was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2020.
Presiding judge Ivana Hrdlickova said both Merhi and Oneissi were aware that Hariri would be killed in the attack, adding that the sentences reflected the "evil nature of terrorism."
"The appeals chamber therefore unanimously decides to sentence Mr Merhi and Mr Oneissi to life imprisonment, the heaviest sentence under the statute and the rules for each of the five counts on which they were convicted," she said.
The men were found guilty of conspiracy to commit a terrorist act, and of being accomplices to commit a terrorist act, accomplices in the intentional homicide of Hariri and of the 21 other people, and accomplices in the attempted homicide of the 226 injured.
The attack on Sunni billionaire Hariri, who had stepped down as Lebanon's prime minister in October 2004, triggered protests that drove Syria out of Lebanon after a 29-year military deployment.
The court was born in 2009 out of a United Nations ...where theory meets practice and practice loses... Security Council resolution and eventually tried four suspects in absentia: Ayyash, Merhi, Oneissi and Assad Sabra.
