The Appeals Court has changed the Act of Foundation Court in Pristina, with which Liridon Beqiri was sentenced to 2 years in prison for pushing for terrorist acts and 3 thousand euros in fines for illegal arms maintenance.

In this complaint, the Writing Prosecutor and Appeals has proposed that the verdict against Beqiri be confirmed, while the lawyer's complaint with Rrecaj be denied as unfounded.
According to the Court of Appeals, the Foundation's decision regarding the extent of the sentence is severe, given the extenuating circumstances that the accused has expressed genuine remorse or repentance and that he is the father of two children.
“Colegy estimates that the prison sentence for the accused pronounced by the court in the first instance under the circumstances of the case is a severe punishment, given the extenuating circumstances that the accused has expressed genuine and real regret and repentance for the actions committed, has pleaded guilty and is deeply repentant, his personal and family circumstances, that he is the father of two young children...”, among other things, in the decision.
In view of these circumstances, the second rate has eased the sentence on Bekiri from two years to a year in prison, since it considered that at this height the sentence would be reached.

In the end, the sentence reportedly says that the one - year prison sentence is sufficient to achieve the purpose of the sentence.
