Parole Board says measures needed to ‘protect society’ as Canadian terrorism convict is released
Citing Hersi’s “propensity for violence,” the Parole Board ordered the 37-year-old to undergo treatment “to address ingrained extremist ideologies” and “violent behaviour.”
“In essence, you have entertained terrorist ideology, denied culpability, shown poor institutional behaviour, have been non-compliant on conditional release, and have been aggressive, threatening and inappropriate towards supervisors,” the decision read. The RCMP arrested Hersi in 2011 as he was boarding a plane at Toronto’s Pearson airport. At his trial, it emerged that he had tried to recruit an undercover police officer to join Al-Shabab.He was convicted in 2014 of trying to leave Canada to join Al-Shabab, the terrorist group that has killed hundreds in Somalia and surrounding countries, and threatened attacks in Canada.
