Oumima Chouay, who fled from his home in Montreal almost ten years ago to join ISIS in Syria, is the first Canadian person to be convicted of providing family support to the terrorist unit as a spouse.
On Monday, Chouay was sentenced to one detention day in addition to 110 days, which he served in pre -trial arrest, according to the Canadian (PPSC) public prosecution. The 29-year-old also got a three-year trial period.
The punishment was a common recommendation for the crown’s prosecution and Chouay’s lawyer Dominique Soofey.
George Dolhai, Director of PPSC, stated in his statement that the phrase reflected measures “Chouay has begun to demonstrate repentance, take responsibility, commit to fundamental changes, and reject the ideology of extremist movements.”
Shoofey rejected the interview request by telephone on Monday night.
Chouay was one of the many Canadian women who returned global issues in 2022 from two northern Syrian arrest camps to the Wives and Children of Isis.
RCMP arrested her and another woman Kimberly Polman, who lives in British Columbia as soon as they left their corresponding airplanes.
Polman is waiting for the trial of the accusation of Canada to take part in the terrorist group and one of participating in the terrorist group.
According to La Presse, Chouay followed two daughters at the time, now nine and seven, born in Syria.
In the case of trial in Canada
Chouay’s punishment implies the end of a more than 10-year trial presented in the case of the facts left in the court.
According to the statement, as a teenager, Chouay traveled to Syria to join Isis, “knowing that his expected role is marrying an ISIS fighter and raising children under Isis.”
He is not believed to have been directly involved in terrorist activity or battle.
Upon arriving back in Canada, Chouay was subjected to “depolarization treatment” and has been assessed at a “very low” risk of relapse. RCMP decided that he would not pose a significant risk to society.
“At least he does not die at the Syrian arrest camp,” said Ottawa’s defense lawyer Lawrence Greenspon, who supported Syrian arrest camps in the recovery of six Canadian women and 23 children, including Chouay and his daughter.
“He has been in justice here in Canada as it should be.”
“It is completely at odds with the Charter of Human Rights, Rights and Freedom, the international allies to which Canada has been a signatory, and it is not just Canadian to let these people run there,” said Lawrence Greenspon, who represents 23 Canadian men and children held by ISIS in the domestic cerebellum.
Greenspon looked at their plight after the relatives of the Toronto orphans held in one camp were received more than five years ago.
He won the case that forced the global things to bring Amira’s child to Canada, calling it to the “thin edge of the wedge”, which eventually also led to the restoration of women arrested by another federal court judge.
Few of them suffered from accusations of the difficulty of obtaining evidence or the lack of evidence that they had committed a more reason for terrorism, Greenspon said to return them to Canada.
Greenspon kept in touch with the first family for a while, chatting with a child learning English by phone.
The lawyer mentioned the Jewish teaching that “if you save one person’s life, it is as if you save so many lives.”
“He was the first,” he added. “It was a battle that was definitely worth a battle.”
