Biography
Khalid Awan, 50, Pakistani foreign national, was indicted October 25, 2006 for providing material support to KCF (Sikh militants seeking a separate Sikh state). At trial, prison phone calls captured him recruiting for KCF and admitting sending hundreds of thousands of dollars to Paramjit Sing Panjwar in Pakistan. 168 months federal prison + 3 years supervised release.
Judge Charles P. Sifton’s March 7, 2007 order denying post-trial motions records an FBI credit-card-fraud arrest on October 25, 2001, a March 17, 2003 guilty plea, and an October 28, 2004 sentence of 60 months. While he was already imprisoned, a new material-support indictment was returned March 8, 2006, followed by superseding indictments August 1 and October 23. The trial ran December 4–20, 2006 and the jury found him guilty on all three counts on December 20. A scheduled March 2006 release is not proof of actual release. The March 2007 order does not supply the later material-support sentence or a discharge date.
