Terrorism-related Peace Bond To Be Lifted For P.E.I. University Student

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 20 May, 2016 12:17 PM
    CHARLOTTETOWN — The lawyer for a P.E.I. man accused of having enough castor beans to produce the deadly toxin ricin says his client will soon be freed from the conditions of a peace bond he signed a year ago.
     
    Amir Raisolsadat was arrested in April 2015 after the Mounties applied for a peace bond under the Criminal Code, saying the RCMP feared the university student would commit a terrorism offence.
     
    A search warrant application says police, acting on national security complaints about Raisolsadat, found between 50 and 60 castor beans during a covert search of his home in Stratford, P.E.I., in April 2014.
     
    None of the allegations in the document have been proven in court, and Raisolsadat never faced charges.
     
    The peace bond — signed May 22, 2015 — included several conditions including that he remain in P.E.I., report weekly to a probation officer, refrain from possessing castor beans and refrain from possessing dangerous weapons and explosives.
     
    Lawyer Brandon Forbes, says his client adhered to the conditions, but he says the publicity surrounding the unusual case has been difficult for the young man's family.
