Court hands down suspended three-year sentence to man who praised the terrorism in Christchurch

Leoš Machálek, a man who used the Internet to praise the terrorist attack committed in Christchurch, New Zealand last year, was given what a Czech court said was the strictest possible sentence last week of three years in prison, suspended for a probationary period of five years. The prosecutor had sought five years in prison and has appealed the length of the sentence.
