An Austrian court on Wednesday sentenced a married couple to 22 months and four years in jail for posting a video on the Internet calling for attacks in Austria and Germany.
Mona S, a 21-year-old Austrian, and her 22-year-old Egyptian-born husband Mohamed M, were found guilty of "belonging to a terrorist organisation" with links to Al-Qaeda, trying to blackmail the Austrian government and inciting a crime.
The main defendant, Mohamed M., was given a four-year term while his wife was sentenced to 22 months in prison.
Mona S. had translated the video, which was signed "Global Islamic Media Front", into German. It contained threats to target the European Football Championships, which Austria is hosting with Switzerland in June, as well as Austrian and foreign politicians.
Austrian detectives hunting the authors of the file traced the computers that were used by the accused. The computers were used to access the Ministry of Defence homepage, from which they allegedly downloaded the photos that were found on the video.
The video was posted in March last year in an attempt to force Austria and Germany to withdraw their troops from Afghanistan.
The Vienna court had excluded the young Muslim woman from the opening of her trial, after she refused to take off her black head-to-toe veil.

Good move.
She’s quite a looker.
Summary trial and immediate execution, like back in The Day, IMO.
They should be put in jail. If I threatened Germany and Austria with violence, they’d put my butt in jail.
“...after she refused to take off her black head-to-toe veil.”
$10 says she’s a he, judging from the bearded scumbag.
Needs to be replicated about 3 million times....worldwide.
Yeah, I know it's not a solution, but it's a start on one!

Ignore this....mistake. See next post!
At first she didn't have to, but then the government found a muslim cleric who publicly declared that the covering is not a religious requirement.
So, in the end, she had to remove the covering and allow people to see her face when she testified.
