The prosecution service is calling for a ten-year prison sentence for Mohamed Harrak, the alleged jihadist who was arrested last year in Palma's Son Gotleu district. The service says that there is sufficient proof of his having used social networks to attract people to fight for so-called Islamic State. The charges do not include the preparation of any specific attack, but they point to the progressive radicalisation of the 28-year-old. Harrak is now due to be brought to trial, having been detained in a prison on the mainland.

It's not fair to taxpayers to spend their hard-earned money on housing and feeding those that wish them harm. Wake up Government, get strong "fuera moscas !
Just strikes me that a lot of people attracted to radicalism mirrors this chap - no references or guidance from family and real friends, hence easy to manipulate.Ten years in prison might serve a deterrent but ultimately these unrested young blokes need to be redirected. If they have futures and ambitions,they would not offer themselves as suicides missionaries?
Well done the prosecution service,in the U.K. We would have told him to behave,given him his passport back,AND given him legal aid and no doubt compensation for being detained!
If he's a terrorist, shoot him quietly for treason, end of....
I have no truck with terrorists of any kind but,frankly,this man seems more like a total fantasists than anything else.
