B.C. court upholds perjury conviction for Air India bomber

The B.C. Court of Appeal has upheld a perjury conviction for Inderjit Singh Reyat, the only person convicted in the Air India bombings.
Mr. Reyat was convicted in November 2010 after testifying at the September 2003 trial of Ajaib Singh Bagri and Ripudaman Singh Malik, who were acquitted of mass murder and conspiracy in the 1985 bombing of Air India Flight 182. Mr. Reyat said he knew nothing of it.
A judge found Mr. Reyat had lied 19 times and handed him a nine-year sentence for perjury. Until then, the longest perjury sentence ever handed down in Canada was six years for a case in Alberta.
