Calgary man who joined ISIS in 2013 receives 16-year prison sentence

From Global News.

A Calgary man who joined the Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist group in the Middle East was sentenced Wednesday to 16 years in prison.

“Terrorism has been described as the most vile form of criminal conduct,” Court of King’s Bench Justice Corina Dario said as she sentenced Jamal Borhot.

“The sentence must also send a clear and unmistakable message that terrorism is reprehensible and those who conduct it will pay a heavy, substantial price.”

Borhot, the judge added, “was willing to slaughter anyone who wouldn’t convert to Islam.”
