The eight-year sentence, which was imposed in 2010 by a military commission in the U.S., would have ended last October had he remained in custody

Former Guantanamo Bay prisoner Omar Khadr is to ask Alberta’s youth court today to declare his eight-year sentence to have expired.

But the clock stopped ticking when an Alberta judge freed him on bail in May 2015 pending Khadr’s appeal of a military commission conviction for war crimes – a years-long process that has no end in sight.His lawyer, Nate Whitling, has said that the youth court judge has the authority to terminate the sentence and say it’s over.

His application asks the judge to place Khadr under conditional supervision for one day then declare his sentence served. Khadr spent years in U.S. detention at Guantanamo Bay after he was caught and accused of tossing a grenade that killed special forces soldier Christopher Speer at a militant compound in Afghanistan in 2001.

No.

Is he paying for ALL court costs for his continued abuse of the Canadian justice system.

Left Wing Commie Government and Media Supporting Terrorists more than Canadians.

No way!

Best wishes for a positive outcome Omar !

Never Never Never

Unfortunately, this is what gives the anti-globalists and the Canadian 'yellow vests' their resolve. Always amusing that some non-conservative anti-globalist claim to be Christian. What happened to Sermon on the Mount ? Or perhaps there is another interpretation. .............

Trudeau has made Canada a haven for Terrorists- the UK ISIS Terrorist wanted to come here, others are filing claims for millions based on the secret Khadr settlement - Trudeau has a bizarre fascination with Islamic Extremists at the expense of public safety in Canada...

Offer him a first-class ticket to the Caliphate and just be done with him. A jihadi is a jihadi is a jihadi.

These terrorists must just laugh at us and our weak government. Imagine the outcome of a westerner committing crimes against an Islamic state. Do you think they would shower him with cash and kiss his ass?

As he rolls away in a Maserati-limo citizens paid for thanks to Trudeau.

Hang him

Ummm mr terrorist....NO EXPIRATION
