On January 14, 2016 the Board voted to impose special conditions on this offender?s legislated Statutory Release. Under the Corrections and Conditional Release Act, offenders must be released into the community on Statutory Release after serving two-thirds of their sentence, to serve the remainder of their sentence in the community. A copy of the decision is attached which lists the factors considered and the reasons for the Board's decision. While the Corrections and Conditional Release Act requires that certain information not be shared, no exemptions were applied to the material. The offender must report to a Parole Of?cer. At any time during his release, the offender?s Parole Officer or a Duty Officer may issue a warrant and temporarily return the offender to prison, if the officer believes that the risk to the public has become unmanageable. Parole Officers and Duty Of?cers work for the Correctional Service of Canada. If you have any questions about the Board's documentation or the terminology used, please contact, at the address/fax. number above, or by phone at 604-370-2438.

RESIDE AT A SPECIFIC PLACE IMPOSED Reside at a Community Correctional Centre or a Community Residential Facility or other residential facility (such as private home placement) approved by the Correctional Service of Canada. ..-. .. -- w, Fm .. -. n- The Correctional Service of Canada has made a recommendation that special conditions be imposed upon your upcoming statutory release- Upon review of your ?le the Board determined that a residency condition should also be considered. In making a decision to impose a residency condition, the Board must be satis?ed that, in the absence of such a condition, you will present an undue risk to society by committing an offence listed in Schedule 1 of the Corrections and Conditional Release Act or an offence under section 467.11, 467.12, or 467.13 of the Criminal Code before the expiration of your sentence. In considering the imposition of a residency condition on your statutory release, the Board has taken the following factors into consideration: You are serving a 7 year sentence for Perjury. You committed this offence when called to testify against your co?accused from your manslaughter conviction. You were found to have made false statements with intent to mislead the Court. File information indicates that as a result of your committing perjury, the co?accused were not convicted of any criminal offences. Your criminal history includes prior convictions for Manslaughter x3 Possession of Unregistered Name REYAT, IN DERJIT SIN GH PEG 82 vans no) Page 3 of 5 Dale and Time Locked: 2016-01-19 09:55 Time is based on a 24-Hour Clock Period F'aaeh'ilr?S Parole Board Commission desiiberatione page 4 ccnditionnelles du Canada PROTECTED WHEN COMPLETED Personal lnt'onnation Bank FBC-CLCC 005 Restricted Weapon and Unlawful Possession of Explosives, Make Explosive Substance with Intent to Cause an Explosion, Unlaw?Jlly Acquiring Explosive Substance with intent to Cause an Explosion, Make Explosive Substance and Possession of Explosive Substance. All of your convictions are connected to your involvement in the deaths of 331 people in terrorist attacks on the Narita Airport in Japan and on Air India Flight 132. You were detained by the Board until warrant expiry in both of your previous sentences. You have been identi?ed as associated with a security threat group that is known as a terrorist organization. Your af?liation is currently identi?ed as "inactive While incarcerated although not disaf?liated and his af?liation has not been terminated." At intake it was determined that you were involved in a cause that included associates prepared to use extreme violence against innocent people. In March 2013 you were assessed by a as presenting a ?relatively high" risk for future group based violence. The report also noted a lack of "true empathy and remorse" for the victims of the bombings. Dyer the course of sewing all three of your sentences, you have been selective on the information you have provided to those supervising you. It is dif?cult to assess whether there has been a reduction in willingness or preparedness to offend. To your credit, ?le information indicates that you now acknowledge that you were unhappy with the Indian Government at the time of your offending and have admitted that you knew you were providing bomb components that would be used to blow something up. Any reasonable person would realize that the explosive device could cause harm to people. You have also acknowledged that yoUr o?ences are a result of your association with individuals prepared to use extreme violence in support of religious beliefs, and you have noted that you and your family no longer associate with these individuals. However, the Board notes that you maintained the lies you told in court until as recently as mid 2013. You have indicated that you now recognize that your deception while testifying demonstrates your support for political based violence. Your shift to accepting this responsibility is only partial and relatively recent. You are described as still quite guarded. The Board notes that you have completed a series of ETAs with no concerns noted. Your institutional case management team indicates that you meet the criteria for residency, and note that you require a highly structured and monitored release. Your case management team suggests that you will need to demonstrate a sustained period of time within the community abstaining from af?liating with your past group and its individual members. The Board notes that the' community is not recommending a residency condition at this time. After reviewing all of the available information, the Board ?nds that you were involved in terrorist activity that resulted in the deaths of 331 people. The loss of life had a profound and long lasting impact on the families who lost their relatives in these incidents, and had far reaching impact on peOple around the world. Until recently, you took limited responsibility for your role in this catastrophic disaster, you lied in court and protected others involved. There is little direct information that you haVe completely disaf?liated from the extremist group you were involved in, and you have also been assessed as presenting a high risk for future group violence. The Board ?nds that you have begun to make changes in your life and have been more open to discussing your criminal offending, however those changes are relatively recent and are untested. Consequently the Board concludes alternatives to residing at a UHF are inadequate to protect the public. Based on this analysis, the Board is satis?ed that, in the absence of a residency condition, you will present an undue risk to society by committing an offence listed in Schedule 1 of the Corrections and Conditional Release before the expiration of your sentence. Accordingly the special condition requiring you to reside at a speci?c place is imposed.
