"The court in Berlin gave him a sentence of three years and nine months over social media posts he made with videos taken during a trip to Lebanon in 2023."
"The court found he also spread propaganda videos and displayed Hezbollah symbols such as flags and scarves."
"However the court said that the videos in question showed that the accused had had no training in dealing with the weapons and that he had acted in a 'partly amateurish' fashion."
"Germany, like the United States and Britain, considers Hezbollah a terrorist organisation."
A German court sentenced a 30-year-old supporter of Hezbollah to three years and nine months in prison for illegal access to weapons and social media posts. The individual was acquitted of fighting for Hezbollah and being a member. The court found that he posted videos from Lebanon showing him handling weapons and participating in shooting practice. The accused lacked training with the weapons and fabricated claims of combat experience to impress peers. Germany classifies Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, while the EU only designates its military wing as such.
