The Military Tribunal passed sentence on former “Israeli”-allied militiamen on Wednesday, the 13th group to stand trial since the liberation of the South.
Five men were given sentences ranging from three weeks to two years, while several other trials were adjourned until a later date of the request of defense attorneys.
Investigating Magistrate Riad Talih recommended that five other collaborators trial receive terms from three to 15 years. The court issued warrants for eight more men charged with serving in the militia.
