STORYLINE:
Three Muslim men from disputed Kashmir were sentenced to hang on Wednesday for aiding a deadly attack last year on India's Parliament that almost triggered war with Pakistan.
Judge S.N. Dhingra sentenced the three Indian citizens to death after finding them guilty of murder and waging war
against the country. He said they were inspired by Osama bin Laden and by terrorists in neighbouring Pakistan.
The men did not directly take part in the December 13, 2001, attack in which five suspected Islamic militants shot nine people to death at Parliament before security forces killed them. But prosecutors said the three helped with planning and logistics.
The death sentences provoked street protests in their hometowns in the mountainous Jammu-Kashmir state, where
Islamic militants have waged a 13-year insurgency that has taken 61,000 lives.
In Baramula, about 55 kilometres (35 miles) north of Srinagar, the summer capital of Jammu & Kashmir state, people shouted anti-India and pro-freedom slogans. Similar protests took place in nearby Sopore.
The grief-stricken relatives of Mohammad Afzal and Shaukat Hussain Guru have appealed to the human rights organisations to ensure the accused are given a fair trial in the higher courts.
The defendants had pleaded innocent and their lawyers have said they will appeal. They can go to the High Court, the Supreme Court and the president.
