Terror Plot Against Iran International: Suspect Sentenced to Over 3 Years in Prison

The Central Criminal Court of England has handed down a three-a-and-half-year prison sentence to Magomed-Husejn Dovtaev, who has been found guilty of planning a terror attack against Iran International.

Dovtaev, a Chechen-origin Austrian citizen, faced charges of gathering sensitive information for terrorist purposes.

This Wednesday, a unanimous jury verdict at the Central Criminal Court of England confirmed Dovtaev's involvement in the terror conspiracy targeting the Iran International network. His arrest occurred at Chiswick Business Park by the Metropolitan Police Counter-Terrorism Command of London in February.

Accusations against Dovtaev include the collection of information intended for a third party to facilitate a terrorist attack on Iran International.

Reacting to the sentencing, a representative of Iran International reiterated the network's resilience against intimidation, asserting that its journalists will persist in delivering independent and uncensored news, honouring the expectations of the Iranian people.
