(Global News) A Canadian national was sentenced to five years in prison by a British court on Tuesday for participating in a terrorist organization that has been linked to deadly attacks in the U.K.
Khaled Hussein, a Canadian citizen and resident of Edmonton, was sentenced alongside Anjem Choudary, a British citizen, in London’s Woolwich Crown Court a week after they were convicted on multiple charges under Britain’s Terrorism Act.
Choudary was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 28 years, minus nearly a year already served, for serving as the leader of the group Al Muhajiroun since 2014. Hussein was a member of the group, also known as the Islamic Thinkers Society, beginning in 2020.
