(Calgary Herald) Going to Syria to become an ISIS fighter has landed a Calgary-area man a 12-year prison term.
Calgary Court of Queen’s Bench Justice David Labrenz on Thursday accepted a joint crown and defence submission to sentence Hussein Borhot to a dozen years on terrorism-related charges, including participating in the activities of a terrorist group and taking part in the commission of an offence — kidnapping — for a terrorist group.
Labrenz sentenced Borhot to eight years for participating in ISIS activities and an additional four years for the kidnapping offence.
The judge also accepted the submission from crown prosecutor Kent Brown and defence counsel Rame Katrib that Borhot be ordered to serve at least half the term before he is eligible for parole.
