One year in prison is the verdict for Ahmed Musa Ahmed, accused of preaching antidemocratic ideology - radical Islam, along with another 12 imams. This was announced by the Plovdiv Court of Appeals, which upheld the decision of the Pazardzhik Regional Court from 2014. In practice, however, the Pazardzhik Imam will not be jailed because he has already served three years of preliminary arrest over another crime. The sentence can be appealed within a period of 15 days.
