It was the only Islamist coup ever attempted in the Western hemisphere. He surrendered six days later after being offered amnesty, and spent two years in jail. He said the Government had been struggling to deal with the novel coronavirus pandemic and its impact on society, and therefore they should heed his words. In subsequent years, Bakr was charged for sedition for threatening remarks he made during an Eid sermon in In , the matter ended in a hung jury.
He has been facing retrial since Just last month, Bakr was again accused of using threatening language, warning of "war'" over the government's treatment of the Jamaat's school, during prayers at its Mucurapo mosque.
