PG charges Shahum with terrorism through gang violence

The Prosecutor General’s (PG) Office has charged Ibrahim Shahum Adam with terrorism through gang violence, alleging that he murdered 17 year-old Mohamed Hussein and 21 year-old Ahusan Basheer.
Haveeru reported that Shahum denied the charges and again asked for time to find a lawyer.
Shahum was recently sentenced to a year in prison for attacking a student in an Imam course they were both studying. If convicted on terrorism, he faces execution, banishment or life imprisonment.
Haveeru reported that following today’s hearing, Shahum threatened journalists present that “you should consider your own safety.”
