Former Guantanamo Bay prisoner Omar Khadr has completed his sentence, an Alberta judge ruled Monday. Court of Queen's Bench Chief Justice Mary Moreau counted the time Khadr spent on conditional release for nearly four years as counting toward his eight-year sentence. "So we do expect this is the end of the road in terms of having to deal with Mr. Khadr's sentence." "And I think it will be determined there was never any jurisdiction to try Mr. Khadr for these offences." He was later transferred to Canada, where the Supreme Court ruled Khadr's punishment was to be served as a youth sentence.
