(National Post) While a key architect of the Toronto 18 terrorism plot to detonate truck bombs in Toronto is pushing for more access to electronics while out of prison, the parole board is worried that requiring him to give his computer passwords to his parole supervisor might violate his rights.
Shareef Abdelhaleem was granted day parole 10 months ago and he gushed thanks to the Parole Board of Canada — “You will not be sorry,” he said in December, “you will never hear from me again.” Now, however, he returns to the board complaining over his computer access.
Using computers and the internet have been a steady feature of his awkward adjustment to life beyond bars.
He complained about restrictions on computer access since his release into a halfway house.
