Hesse: trial for the distribution of an IS propaganda video with children

Frankfurt/Main (dpa/lhe) - Because he is said to have distributed propaganda videos from the terrorist organization Islamic State, a man has to answer before the Frankfurt Regional Court from today (from 10 a.m.). The indictment accuses the 24-year-old of having distributed the videos with an eight-year-old and a four-year-old girl in a chat group. Both children were seen with guns and IS symbols. The films were apparently intended to promote children's participation in "jihad". The indictment assumes a violation of the association law. For the time being, the State Protection Chamber has only planned one day of negotiations.
