A man accused of membership in a terrorist organization has gone on trial in Germany. Prosecutors say he is a member of Hezbollah, a Lebanese Shia Muslim group.
The European Union designates Hezbollah's military wing as a terrorist organization. This ban means the group's activities are illegal within the EU.
The trial will determine the defendant's guilt. The case is part of Germany's ongoing efforts to combat banned extremist groups on its soil.
