(Global News) The first Canadian convicted of attempting to leave the country to join a terrorist group has been sent back to prison after allegedly threatening staff at the community home where he was living while taking part in a de-radicalization program.
In a decision released Tuesday, the Parole Board of Canada revoked Mohamed Hassan Hersi’s statutory release on the grounds the 35-year-old posed “an undue risk to society.”
Hersi was also caught with two cellphones hidden in the lining of a suitcase, a violation of his release conditions, according to the decision.
The decision means he must return to prison. He can reapply for conditional release in one year, the Parole Board said.
