The case of a Winnipeg man accused of having involvement with terrorist groups returned to court Tuesday.
Aaron Driver, 23, agreed to enter a peace bond, which will last for 10 months. By entering the peace bond, Driver acknowledged that there are reasonable grounds to fear that he may help or partake in terrorist activity.
His lawyer also said that a pyschological assessment had indicated that Driver was low-risk.
Driver was challenging an attempt by federal authorities to limit his activities on suspicion he might help, or engage in, terrorist activities. His lawyer argued it violated Driver’s mobility and freedoms.
When Driver was released from custody in June of last year, he was ordered to wear an electronic monitoring device. He was also banned from going on the Internet and is barred from communicating with ISIS or having any object with the ISIS logo.
Under the conditions of the peace bond, Driver will no longer have to wear an electronic monitoring device. He must stay at his residence in Strathroy, Ontario and notify RCMP if he plans to do otherwise.
He cannot use or comment on any form of social media. He also can't have a cell phone, computer, laptop or tablet. That part of the condition expires Aug. 31, 2016.
Driver also cannot have any communication with ISIS or have anything with the ISIS or ISIL logo.
