(Vancouver Sun) The provincial government has not laid criminal charges against the director of a terrorist organization almost six months after being asked to by Vancouver police.

On Wednesday, the B.C. Prosecution Service confirmed it was still reviewing a report from the Vancouver Police Department on 44-year-old Charlotte Lynn Kates.

“This process is continuing and I am unable to provide a timeline for completion,” said spokesperson Damienne Darby.

Darby did provide Postmedia News with a copy of the prosecution service’s hate crimes policy.

VPD spokesperson Sgt. Steve Addison said police provided the report to prosecutors in June, two months after Kates was arrested at a rally at the Vancouver Art Gallery organized by Samidoun.
