NEW DELHI, Feb. 27 (Xinhua) -- A special court in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh Monday sentenced to life in jail 11 members of the banned home-grown terror outfit, Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), for sedition and possession of arms and explosives.
"It appears from the activities of the convicts that they don't have faith in the lawfully and constitutionally established Government of India... Their acts are against national unity and integrity of the country. They are involved in illegal activities by fomenting religious hatred with an aim to create serious danger for the entire humanity," the court said.
Among the 11 convicts who were handed down life imprisonment by the special court were top SIMI leader Safdar Nagori, who was said to be the face of the terror outfit.
