A Toronto man has been sentenced to four years and one month after pleading guilty to participating in a terrorist activity.

Pamir Hakimzadah left Toronto for Turkey back in 2014 where he tried to find a way into Syria to join ISIL.

The 29-year-old was turned into authorities by a taxi cab driver…and was later sent back to Canada.

The Justice said the man’s age, his guilty plea and the fact that he has committed to a de-radicalization program and the fact that he didn’t end up joining Islamic militants were all factors in his favour.
