The State Security Court handed down death sentences against six convicts and a 15-year prison term against another, while an eighth was sentenced to a 10-year jail term. Two others got a one-year prison term each.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The Higher Court confirmed that the State Security Court’s proceedings had been in accordance with all the legal requirements and upheld the ruling.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In October of 2020, the group kidnapped and brutally assaulted the boy in the eastern Zarqa governorate, chopping his upper limbs and gouging out one of his eyes in revenge for a previous homicide.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
