The boy was subject to a section of the Criminal Code that allows for a peace bond if there’s fear the person may commit a terrorism offence.
He appeared in a Calgary courtroom with his lawyer and his family this afternoon.
Cpl. Courtney Currie of the RCMP’s Integrated National Security Enforcement Team testified that a threat assessment has determined he’s at a low risk to commit a terrorist attack but at a high risk of joining an extremist group and playing a supportive role.
Justice Jennifer Shafton granted the application and imposed a set of restrictions on the Grade 10 student’s freedoms that include regular reporting to a probation officer, not associating with anyone connected to a terrorist group and not using any social media platforms.
Earlier Friday, a 16-year-old boy who was arrested in December as part of the same investigation made a brief appearance in the same courtroom with his lawyer and his father.
His case was put over until later this month.
