"The Montreal man serving a life sentence for killing his wife and three teenage daughters intimidated other prisoners to the point that one asked to be put in isolation, a Senate committee has heard.

Psychologist Robert Groves, who worked in Kingston Penitentiary, testified Monday before the national security and defence committee hearing on security threats facing Canada. He said he met with one particular non-Muslim inmate who went to great lengths to avoid Shafia.

"It turned out that he felt so intimidated by Shafia and some of his lieutenants, that he chose to give up his relative freedom of movement on the range in the general population for a much more restricted life on a social isolation range," Groves said.

"He could no longer come to see me. I had to go to his cell on the isolation range. He advised me that confinement was worth it to avoid the hassle of dealing with 'the M.....s'"

"Groves said he believes Shafia was "self-appointed" in his role in the prison, and said about 25 men gathered for prayers.

"They were not [all] Muslims but believed that they dare not refuse to attend Friday prayers," he told the hearing.

"This form of intimidation is what one finds routinely with zealot extremists."

Groves's testimony focused on the potential for radicalization of the prison population."

Outrageous - double grrrrrrr [emoji35] [emoji35] [emoji35]

Yeah! Every once in a while the court makes a good decision.

I was especially pleased by this bit:

"Charitably put, the evidence of guilt was overwhelming," Justice David Watt wrote in the decision released Wednesday, and co-signed by two other Court of Appeal justices.

Too bad Mohammed Shafia's millions (which he was careful to confirm, BEFORE the murders, would still be under his control if he were serving time in prison) cannot be confiscated to reimburse taxpayers for his and his co-felons' upkeep, or to be put towards victim services.

Why can't be be forced to pay?

My BIL had to reimburse the ontario government for his hospital surgery after he won a lawsuit for damages to his spine.

I say these should have to reimburse court costs.

Blah!

[h=1]Tooba Yahya, mother in Shafia murder case, has permanent resident status revoked[/h][h=2]Woman is serving life in prison for 1st-degree murder of 3 daughters and her husband's 1st wife[/h]CBC News · Posted: Mar 15, 2018

At a hearing in Montreal Thursday, the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada determined that Yahya will not be permitted to remain in Canada as a permanent resident when she is released from prison. She will not be eligible for parole for at least another 16 years

.

Hamed Shafia had asked the Supreme Court of Canada for leave to appeal, arguing new evidence showing he was a youth at the time of the deaths should not have been dismissed. The top court announced in April it would not hear the appeal.
