A Moscow court has jailed two young women for more than five years on charges of aiding "Islamic State" (ISIS) jihadists, with one of them found guilty of transferring some $600 to an ISIS bank account.
Yelena Arshakhanova and Saida Khalikova, medical students in the southern Russian city of Astrakhan, were respectively sentenced to five years, three months and five years, six months behind bars, court spokeswoman Irina Zhirnova told AFP on Tuesday.
"They were accused of transferring funds to terrorists," Zhirnova said, adding that the court had reached its verdict on Monday.
