Asad Ansari is one of 18 people accused and detained on June 2 and June 3, 2006, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in the Toronto terrorism arrests. He was 21 years old at the time of his arrest, and spent 3 years and 3 months in pre-trial detention, of which 15 months straight were spent in solitary confinement. On August 28, 2009, he was granted bail. Trial Ansari was being tried simultaneously with Steven Vikash Chand and Fahim Ahmad in Brampton until Ahmad pleaded guilty. He and Chand were both found guilty on June 23, 2010 of knowingly participating in a terrorist group. The court heard that he had attended a winter training camp in Washago, Ontario, in December 2005. They are the only members of the 18 to be tried by jury rather than by a lone judge. |
