Six Muslim men have gone on trial in Macedonia over the killing of five fishermen near the capital, Skopje. Prosecutors are presenting the case as a terrorism-related attack.

According to the indictment, the men were killed to “cause fear among the population” and to harm the country’s security. They face a minimum ten-year sentence if found guilty.
