The lawyer for a Calgary man facing terrorism charges wants the case dropped because of long delays in getting to his trial.
Jamal Borhot, 34, has been charged with three counts of participating in terrorist group activity.
He is accused of going to Syria in 2013 and 2014 to carry out acts of terrorism with the Islamic State.
He was charged in 2020 and his trial is expected to begin later this month.
Court documents have been filed arguing that the timeframe exceeds the limits set by the Supreme Court.
A judge is expected to hear those arguments on April 15.
A co-accused, Jamal’s cousin, Hussein Borhot, pleaded guilty to terrorism and was sentenced to 12 years in prison.
