MONTREAL—A young Montreal couple recently acquitted of terrorism charges is being paid by a publicly funded de-radicalization agency to share their experience on radicalization in the prison system. The next month, in April 2015, the Montreal couple were arrested and accused of trying to leave Canada to join a terrorist group and for possession of an explosive substance. It’s not great even if you’re acquitted, because, what people remember are the charges, not the acquittal,” Murias said. The terms of that recognizance order will be reviewed by a judge when the couple returns to court in March. The working arrangement between the Montreal radicalization program and the young couple sparked lively reactions online when it was first reported Wednesday.
