(Global News) Prosecutors have approved charges against a captured Canadian ISIS fighter, according to documents that show how federal officials have dealt with citizens detained in Syria.
The approved charges are the first known to have been authorized against a Canadian member of the so-called Islamic State caught in Syria.
They were disclosed in records released to Global News by Global Affairs Canada (GAC) under the Access to Information Act.
“The Ali charge package has now been approved by PPSC,” read the “secret” report by GAC’s Task Force on International Critical Incidents.
PPSC is the Public Prosecution Service of Canada, which handles terrorism cases.
