An ISIS terrorist group supporter from Kazakhstan has been sentenced for six years in jail for carrying out terrorist propaganda and planning to wage jihad in Syria, a regional court of Kazakhstan told Sputnik Wednesday.

The two criminal code articles stipulate punishment for spreading terrorist ideology and seeking to spread religious and social intolerance.

ISIS, outlawed in Russia and many other countries, controls large areas of Syria and Iraq. The group has been spreading its influence to other countries and is notorious for recruiting jihadists, mainly young people, from all over the world via social media.
