CALGARY, Alberta - A judge ruled on Monday that the war crimes sentence of a Canadian man formerly held at U.S. military base Guantanamo Bay in Cuba has expired, making Omar Khadr a free man.
He was later transferred to Canada, where he was handed an eight-year sentence in 2010, before being released on bail in 2015. Khadr’s sentence would have expired last year had he remained in custody. “I think it’s been a while but I’m happy it’s here, and right now I’m going to just try to focus on recovering and not worrying about having to go back to prison, or, you know, just struggling,” Khadr said.
“We are a country that respects the rule of law and very much respects the judicial process,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said when asked about the ruling on Khadr’s sentence.
