A special court in Riyadh on Wednesday sentenced 23 people convicted of various terrorism charges to prison terms ranging from 11 months to 20 years, the Saudi Press Agency reported. The men were part of a bigger group of 36 militants standing trial for embracing a deviant ideology, money laundering, illegal possession of ******* and a host of other charges. The first defendant, a Yemeni national, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for money laundering. They were also charged with traveling to regions of turmoil to join the fighting, financing terrorist operations, providing shelter to people wanted by security authorities, helping militants to leave for conflict zones and attempting to form groups to monitor the movement of expatriates and kill them.
