Sweden sentences terrorist to life imprisonment over martyr al-Kasasbeh's execution
Ammon News - Stockholm District Court on Thursday convicted a 32-year-old man and sentenced him to life imprisonment for his involvement in the execution of Jordanian pilot Muath al-Kasasbeh in Syria. Presiding judge Anna Liljenberg Gullesjö said that the evidence has shown that the defendant was at the execution site, uniformed and armed, and let himself be filmed. The film and the further evidence have shown that it was another man who lit the fire and thereby directly caused the death of al-Kasasbeh. However, the District Court has found that the defendant, through his actions, contributed so actively to the death of the pilot that he should be considered a perpetrator.
