MELBOURNE MEN HELD ON TERRORISM CHARGES

Associates of the ten men arrested in Melbourne on terrorism charges in November have been arrested, also in Melbourne:

Three Victorian men were arrested and charged with terrorism-related offences last night as part of the joint state and federal police investigation into alleged terror cells in Sydney and Melbourne.

The three men were taken into custody late yesterday afternoon and were questioned about possible links to the alleged cells.

In related news, one of the ten already awaiting trial is claiming mistreatment following a dispute with prison officers:

Mr Stary said that in the course of the dispute, Mr Merhi was left in a cell in his underwear for up to an hour.

Soon there will be claims of torture.
