(Canadian Press) A 20-year-old Calgary man facing four terrorism-related charges stemming from a TikTok video has retained a new lawyer.
Zakarya Rida Hussein was charged in June with two counts of facilitating terrorist activity and two counts of participating in or contributing to an activity of a terrorist group.
An agent for Rame Katrib, his former lawyer, appeared in court Friday to remove Katrib as counsel of record.
Alain Hepner was then brought on as Hussein’s defence lawyer.
Court documents show Hussein is accused of posting a TikTok video in May that contributed to or facilitated terrorist activity for al-Qaida and the Islamic State group.
