3 Indonesians found guilty in Islamic sect attack

None

The ringleader of a frenzied mob attack that killed three members of a minority Muslim sect was sentenced Thursday to five and a half months in prison in a ruling decried by critics as too lenient and a blow to religious freedom in Indonesia.

 

Eleven others also were convicted of less serious charges of weapons possession in the February violence and sentenced to between three and six months behind bars. (AP)
