Man Who Pleaded Guilty To Terror Charge Sentenced To 4 1/2 Years In Prison: Lawyer

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 31 Oct, 2017 12:46 PM
    TORONTO — An Ontario man who pleaded guilty to a terrorism-related charge this spring will spend another two years behind bars.
     
     
    Kevin Omar Mohamed's lawyer says his client was sentenced in a Toronto court today to 4 1/2 years in prison, with 2 1/2 years credit for time already served.
     
    Mohamed has been in custody since his arrest in March 2016 on weapons-related charges, which were later changed to a terror charge.
     
    He pleaded guilty in early June to one count of participating in or contributing to, directly or indirectly, any activity of a terrorist group for the purpose of enhancing the ability of any terrorist group to facilitate or carry out a terrorist activity.
     
    Prosecutors had said the maximum penalty was 10 years imprisonment.
