(Global News) A Toronto man convicted of travelling to Turkey to join the so-called Islamic State has been released from prison four months after he was sentenced, an official said Wednesday.
Pamir Hakimzadah was charged with terrorism in April 2017 following what the RCMP called an “extensive” national security investigation. He pleaded guilty in February 2019.
He has now been freed from a maximum-security prison in Penetanguishene, Ont., said Andrew Morrison, a spokesperson for the Ontario Ministry of the Solicitor General.
“The individual was admitted to the Central North Correctional Centre on April 4, 2019, and was released June 28, 2019, after completing his sentence,” Morrison told Global News.
