(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Abcha received one year in jail for each act of desecration that he committed in four different mosques in the southeastern town of Ben Guerdane.
The court additionally fined the defandant 120 dinars for each instance of abuse of the Quran, which is to be paid to the Association for the Memorization of the Holy Quran and Imams and Mosques of Ben Guerdane.
The Association for the Memorization of the Holy Quran and Imams and Mosques of Ben Guerdane, represented by a team of seven prosecutors, demanded that the case be referred to the office of the public prosecutor in order to "carry on with the investigation and require that a maximum sentence is inflicted on the accused."
The Attorney General was also present at the hearing and supported the prosecution's position. This move by the Attorney General was ill-advised given that his role is limited to the observation of the case, Aouini a Tunisian lawyer stated to us.
