MOSCOW, April 5 (RAPSI) – The Russian Supreme Court on Tuesday reduced the sentence for two young women convicted of transferring money to ISIS, a terrorist organization banned in Russia, to 5 years in prison, RAPSI reported from the court.

Yelena Arshakhanova and Saida Khalikova gathered finances for terrorists by selling children toys and homemade soap.

In December, the Moscow Regional Military Court sentenced Arshakhanova and Khalikova to 5 years and 3 months and 5.5 years in prison respectively.

The Islamic State is currently one of the major threats to global security. Over three years, these terrorists have managed to seize large areas of Iraq and Syria. The organization is also attempting to spread its influence to North Africa – particularly, Libya. The area controlled by ISIS covers up to 90,000 square kilometers.
