A Bowling Green man imprisoned for crimes related to his membership in the terror group ISIS is appealing his conviction and sentence.

Mirsad Ramic was sentenced to 101 months in prison after a jury convicted him of providing material support and resources to ISIS, conspiring to provide material support to ISIS and receiving military-type training from a designated terrorist organization.

On Monday, Ramic’s attorney, federal public defender Scott Wendelsdorf, filed a notice of appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.

A jury last year convicted Ramic, 35, of the charges, hearing evidence that the Bosnian national with dual U.S. citizenship conspired with two Saudi nationals to travel to Syria in 2014 to join ISIS, which is designated by the U.S. Department of State as a foreign terrorist organization and was previously known as Al-Qaeda in Iraq.

Jurors heard from former ISIS members who testified to witnessing Ramic training with weapons and taking part in an offensive against Kurdish militants during the siege of the Syrian city of Kobani in 2014.

FBI agents and sources working on behalf of the agency also gave testimony that federal prosecutors argued illustrated the path to radicalism taken by Ramic, which entailed soliciting funds in a chatroom hosted by a radical Muslim cleric and traveling to Yemen in 2010, where he was denied entry and later interviewed by the FBI about his reasons for attempting to go there.

During the trial, Wendelsdorf argued that the evidence showed that Ramic went to Syria not to take up arms against the U.S., but to live in a society more in line with his Muslim faith, only to be disenchanted by his experience and escape to Turkey in 2015, where he was prosecuted, convicted and imprisoned by Turkish authorities for crimes related to his ISIS membership.

At his sentencing in April in U.S. District Court in Bowling Green, Ramic decried the criminal case against him as a “sham prosecution” and said he was “here to suffer in the name of Allah.”

The federal appeals court that will consider Ramic’s case hears appeals from federal cases originally brought in Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio and Michigan.
