A preliminary hearings judge
on Friday sentenced Libyan university researcher Kadiga Shabbi
to one year and eight months in jail for instigation to commit
acts of terrorism, but suspended the sentence and ordered her
release after a year she has served in pre-trial detention.
Prosecutors had requested four years and eight months. Shabbi
was arrested on suspicion of terrorist offences over a year ago.
The woman was charged with carrying out propaganda for various
Islamist groups including Ansar Al Sharia Libya and its leader
Ben Hamid Wissam.
