ONTARIO REVIEW BOARD NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED

   The Crown is going to Ontario’s highest court to try to block a mentally-ill man, Ayanle Hassan Ali , who stabbed three soldiers at a Canadian Forces recruiting centre from attending Hamilton’s Mohawk College without supervision.
  Ali had never even expressed an interest in attending school, the Crown argued, and the plan to accelerate him from lockdown with zero privileges to walking around campus alone within the year was beyond ambitious, let alone unsafe.
  The Crown called it “particularly alarming,” considering Ali’s “ongoing delusions and fixation (with Canadian forces and his belief that attacking them is justified), particularly in the context of the aggressive and difficult to subdue nature of the attack/index offences (with many trained military personnel having great difficulty in disarming and subduing him), his prior interest in achieving martyrdom and the board’s own recognition of a need for secure detention to address the significant threat and level of risk posed by the Respondent.”   The Ontario Review Board made an “unreasonable” decision that failed to consider public safety when it gave Ayanle Hassan Ali the prospect of unaccompanied passes to attend college classes, the Crown argued in a factum filed with the Ontario Court of Appeal.
