Ontario man in custody on allegations he tried to join terror group: RCMP

A 32-year-old Ontario man has been arrested under the terrorism peace bond provisions of the Criminal Code after allegedly trying to leave Canada to join a terrorist organization, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).

The arrest was made by the RCMP’s Integrated National Security Enforcement Team.

Authorities say the man’s actions prompted the Director of Public Prosecutions and the Deputy Attorney General of Canada to authorize the initiation of a terrorism peace bond application on April 19.

A terrorism peace bond is a legal tool used to restrict an individual’s activities if there are reasonable grounds to believe they may commit a terrorism offence. It allows law enforcement to impose conditions on a person in order to prevent potential threats to national security. The provisions for terrorism peace bonds are outlined in section 810.011 of the Criminal Code .​

The suspect appeared in an Ontario Court in Brampton on April 20. He remains in custody pending further court proceedings.

Police said a publication ban prevents them from providing further details about his identity or what organization he was allegedly attempting to join.

The RCMP emphasized its commitment to protecting national security and investigating threats, including terrorism and foreign interference, under the Security Offences Act. “Threats to Canada’s national security are a priority for the RCMP”, authorities said in their statement.
