A 55-year-old mother of an ISIS militant has been jailed for 30 months by a Malaysian court for trying to support terrorist activities by using her Facebook accounts, according to a media report.
Azizah Md Yusof was sentenced on two counts after she pleaded guilty to the charges on Friday. High Court judge Justice Kamardin Hashim ordered the sentences to run concurrently from the day Azizah was arrested on April 28 last year, the Malaysian star reported.
He ruled that it was the court’s duty to consider public interest when meting out the sentences so as to send out a strong message to youngsters not to get involved in any terrorist activities. According to facts presented in court, the police detained Azizah at a house in Mentari Court, Taman Seri Mentari, Petaling Jaya, following information that she was involved in security offences.
