A US militia leader, facing life in prison for bombing a Minnesota mosque in 2017, now reportedly identifies as a transgender woman – and lawyers are asking for a lenient sentence, alleging that gender dysphoria fueled the attack.
According to court documents seen by local media outlets, Emily Claire Hari – the founder of the right-wing group ‘White Rabbits’ that bombed the Dar Al-Farooq Islamic Center in the state – has claimed that she had been suffering from an “inner conflict” at the time.
Previously known as Michael Hari, the 50-year-old claimed this conflict stemmed from a “combination of gender dysphoria and right-wing misinformation,” including online anti-Muslim content, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Hari’s lawyer has asked a federal judge to impose the minimum 30-year prison sentence instead of a life term.
