Omar Khadr was sentenced.
Omar Khadr . He accepted an eight-year sentence , not including time served , with the possibility of a transfer to Canada after at least one year to serve the remainder of the sentence . His conviction and sentence were widely denounced by civil rights groups and various newspaper editorials . On September 29 , 2012 , Khadr was repatriated to Canada to serve the remainder of his sentence in Canadian custody . On May 14 , 2015 , the Supreme Court of Canada rejected the federal government 's position , ruling that Khadr had clearly been sentenced by the U.S. military tribunal as a minor . If he loses his appeal of the US conviction , underway in a separate action , he would serve any remaining time in a provincial facility rather than in a federal penitentiary .
