Levi Pulkkinen has the story:

Canadian marijuana seed dealer and pro-pot activist Marc Emery has been sentenced to a five-year prison term, marking the end of a years-long legal fight once cast by federal authorities as a blow to the marijuana reform movement.

Prosecutors tried to claim that the federal government's pursuit to extradite and indict Emery wasn't about silencing his political opinions and political funding—a claim that was clearly bullshit.
