Alexandre Bissonnette
Alexandre Bissonnette is a Canadian man who gained notoriety for committing a mass shooting at a Quebec City mosque in January 2017, resulting in the deaths of six Muslim worshippers. He pleaded guilty to multiple charges of first-degree murder in 2018. In 2022, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that his sentencing, which included a lengthy period of parole ineligibility, violated the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This decision made Bissonnette eligible for parole after serving 25 years, a ruling that has sparked significant debate regarding justice and sentencing laws in Canada.
