MONTREAL — The daughter of a member of the Quebec legislature who pleaded guilty to causing damage during the 2012 student protests has been granted a conditional discharge.
Yalda Machouf-Khadir, the daughter of Quebec solidaire member Amir Khadir, will have to serve 240 hours of community service and will be under probation for three years.
She won’t have a criminal record if she abides by the conditions.
Machouf-Khadir, who aspires to become a lawyer, pleaded guilty to taking part in the ransacking of the Quebec education minister’s office as well as vandalism that occurred during protests at a Montreal junior college and a university.
Machouf-Khadir previously pleaded guilty to several charges including mischief, breaking-and-entering, conspiracy to commit mischief and wearing a disguise.
Quebec court Judge Jean-Pierre Boyer said he believes the remorse the accused has shown is sincere remorse and that she realizes that people would have felt threatened by her actions.
