Germany Says 300 Islamic State Supporters Facing Trial
(Reuters) Nearly 300 people are facing prosecution in Germany for supporting the Islamic State, German Justice Minister Heiko Maas has said. "Whoever supports IS can already be prosecuted under existing laws," he told Welt am Sonntag. On Friday, a state prosecutor demanded a prison term of more than four years for a German man accused of fighting with Islamic State insurgents in Syria. Dozens more trials are due to begin in coming months.
