Crown to seek adult sentence for Quebec teen facing terrorism-related charges

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 16 Feb, 2015 12:20 PM

    MONTREAL — A federal prosecutor says she'll seek an adult sentence for a Quebec teenager facing two terrorism-related charges.

    The motion to have the boy sentenced as an adult could mean he'll face a harsher sentence if found guilty compared to the maximum sentence applicable under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

    The teen is accused of committing a robbery for the benefit of an unspecified terrorist organization.

    Authorities also say the adolescent is charged with planning to leave Canada to participate in the activities of a terrorist group abroad.

    The 15-year-old's lawyer appeared today in youth court for what was supposed to be a meeting to set a date for his trial.

    Instead, the case was postponed until March 9.
