Former Guantanamo Bay prisoner Omar Khadr is to ask Alberta's youth court today to declare his eight-year sentence to have expired.
The sentence, which was imposed in 2010 by a military commission in the United States, would have ended last October had he remained in custody.
But the clock stopped ticking when an Alberta judge freed him on bail in May 2015 pending Khadr's appeal of a military commission conviction for war crimes — a years-long process that has no end in sight.
