Ahmed Mussa (2nd L) arrives at court as 12 Bulgarian men, most of them Muslim prayer leaders, and one woman are charged for preaching radical Islam, in Pazardzhik March 19, 2014. A Bulgarian court sentenced Mussa on Wednesday to one year in jail for spreading radical Islam, in a case that is seen as a test for the delicate ethnic balance between the country's minority Muslims and its Orthodox Christian majority. The trial has provoked protest rallies both by Muslims and by nationalists claiming to represent the majority. Supporters of the nationalist VMRO party gathered outside the court on Wednesday in support of the prosecution. REUTERS/Stringer (BULGARIA - Tags: CRIME LAW RELIGION)
