Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Germany: Muslim who aided teen to go to Syria to join the jihad is released from prison on technical error

Jan 15, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

The Frankfurt Regional Court’s concern for the rights of Bilal G. is laudable. Indeed, it is a hallmark of Western civilization. But cases such as this one nevertheless pose an additional difficulty: what about the rights of his potential victims? What are the chances that he will now become a loyal, stable, productive German citizen?

“Islamist Bilal G. is released,” translated from “Islamist Bilal G. kommt frei,” by Georg Leppert, Frankfurter Rundschau, January 9, 2020 (thanks to Searchlight Germany):

The leading Islamist Bilal G. is apparently at large. The 30-year-old, who was sentenced to three and a half years in prison about a year ago, was due to be released from prison on Thursday evening. The reason was a technical error by the Frankfurt regional court. The corresponding decision of the Higher Regional Court was made available to the Frankfurter Rundschau.

Bilal G.’s lawyer, Seda Basay-Yildiz, confirmed the decision when asked by FR. “Mr. G. has been released on technical grounds, first because the regional court failed to deliver the judgment to the defense on time – we criticized that,” said Seda Basay-Yildiz.

The district court sentenced Bilal G. in December 2018. The public prosecutor had accused the Islamist, who had made a name for himself in Frankfurt with the distribution of Korans on the Zeil, aid for a serious act of violence that threatened the state. In autumn 2013, G. is said to have helped a 16-year-old student travel to Syria. The boy joined Islamist fighters there. He died in Syria in 2014.

With its judgment, the district court went beyond the demands of the public prosecutor. The prosecution had requested two and a half years, the defense pleaded for acquittal. After the verdict, Basay-Yildiz announced an appeal.

Judgment sent far too late

So that he can lodge this appeal with the Federal Court of Justice, the lawyer needs a written copy of the judgment. And the district court took far too long to send it, as the higher regional court decided. Basay-Yildiz received the papers only after more than five months. In doing this, the district court violated the requirement for speed in liability matters.

The decision is based on the principle that decisions on people who are in detention should be made particularly quickly. If, for example, the accused’s innocence is established on appeal, he should be wrongly imprisoned for as short as possible.

Bilal G. has been in prison for a year and ten months now. Continued detention would be “out of proportion to the importance of the matter and the punishment to be expected,” said the Higher Regional Court. It was irrelevant whether the judges or the clerks at the district court were responsible for the delay….
