(CBC) A Calgary man accused of carrying out a kidnapping with ISIS must wait to learn if he will be released on bail after a hearing was held Friday.
Earlier this week Alberta RCMP’s Integrated National [Security] Enforcement Team laid terrorism charges against Hussein Sobhe Borhot, 34.
Provincial court Judge Anne Brown will make her decision next Thursday after hearing arguments from prosecutor Kent Brown, who opposed bail, and defence lawyer John Phillips, who argued for his client’s release.
All of the evidence discussed in court is covered by a publication ban, which is standard in bail hearings and is designed to protect the accused’s right to a fair trial.
