Trial of Calgary man facing terrorism charges begins after judge rejects bid to throw out case

Calgary Man

A judge has dismissed an application to throw out the case of a Calgary man accused of going to Syria to fight with ISIS, for what the defence said were unreasonable delays in the court process.

Justice Corina Dario made the ruling on Monday, saying 34-year-old Jamal Borhot’s rights had not been violated, which allowed the trial to officially begin.

Borhot pleaded not guilty to the charges.
