A Jordanian court on Monday sentenced four men to jail on charges of membership of the Islamic State of Syria and Iraq (ISIS) group and for promoting the jihadist organization on the Internet.
The four Jordanians were arrested in August and put on trial at the state security court last week.
Two were given five years each in prison for ISIS membership and the other two were jailed for three years for "spreading the ideology of a terrorist group on the Internet," an AFP reporter said.
Jordan is one of five Arab States – along with Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates – taking part in the US-led air campaign against ISIS in Iraq and Syria. However, the campaign have not been effective so far.
