A military panel at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba has recommended a 23-year prison sentence for two Malaysian men involved in the 2002 Bali bombings, according to a spokesman for the military commission. The recommendation follows guilty pleas made earlier this month by Mohammed Farik Bin Amin and Mohammed Nazir Bin Lep, who are longstanding detainees at Guantanamo.
This conviction is a relatively rare occurrence in the two decades of proceedings conducted by the U.S. military commission at Guantanamo. Ronald Flesvig, the spokesman for the Guantanamo military commission, confirmed the sentencing recommendations put forth by the panel.
