The case involves a group of suspects facing charges of “manufacturing weapons with the intent to use them unlawfully” and “carrying out acts that disturb public order and endanger the safety and security of society.”
The party's decision came in response to a letter from the IEC, which had cross-checked the names in the indictment with the party registry.
