(Canadian Press) An officer cadet facing expulsion from the Canadian Forces for desecrating a Qur’an is being allowed to continue his studies at the Royal Military College in Saint-Jean, Que., but another student is still fighting to remain in uniform.
The two officer cadets are among three first-year students who were ordered expelled after defiling the Muslim holy book with bacon and what sources have said was semen during a cottage party last spring.
One left the college and military but the other two appealed the decision.
Chief of military personnel Lt.-Gen. Charles Lamarre says after officials took a second look they determined there wasn’t enough evidence to uphold the decision to expel one of them.
