Eight defendants, members of a 86-member terror cell accused of committing many crimes against the nation and religion, were today sentenced to different terms of imprisonment. They face several accusations, including travel to civil war-hit and dispute-stricken areas abroad to take part in fighting there without permission, paying and receiving money to assist people who express wish to take part in the fighting, negligence of their national identification cards and other crimes. Accordingly, three of them were sentenced to death and five to prison terms ranging from 25 t0 30 years and were given 30 days to appeal.
