A judge has rejected a motion attempting to have terrorism charges thrown out against a Quebec man who argued they infringed on his rights to freedom of speech.
Judge Claude Leblond issued the ruling Wednesday morning in the case of Said Namouh, who is charged with creating and distributing jihad propaganda.
Namouh's lawyer, Rene Duval, says he will appeal the decision.
The case has now moved on to final arguments.
Namouh, a native of Morocco, is facing four terrorism-related charges - conspiracy to detonate an explosive device, participating in a terrorist act, facilitating an act and committing extortion for a terrorist group.
