Crown wants 9- year sentence for man convicted of attempting to leave to join ISIL
MONTREAL — The Crown is seeking a nine-year prison sentence for a man convicted of attempting to leave Canada to join the Islamic State.
The defence has countered with a recommendation of six-and-a-half years for Ismael Habib.
Habib, 29, has also been found guilty of giving false information to obtain a passport.
Both sides made sentencing arguments on Thursday before Quebec court Judge Serge Delisle.
