Crown asks for 16 years in prison for Calgary man who joined ISIS
January 16, 2026
A Crown prosecutor says a Calgary man who willingly joined and worked for an Islamic State terrorist group in the Middle East over a decade ago should spend 16 years in prison, while a defence lawyer has recommended 12 years.
Jamal Borhot, 35, was convicted in December of three counts of participation in a terrorist group for assisting in the terrorist activities of ISIS in Syria in 2013.
Court heard Mr. Borhot and his cousin Hussein Borhot illegally entered Syria through Turkey. Hussein Borhot pleaded guilty in a separate trial and was sentenced in 2022 to 12 years.
