Air India Kanishka bombing convict released from prison
According to reports, he has served two-thirds of his nine-year sentence for perjury.
Parole Board official Patrick Storey was quoted as saying by The Vancouver Sun: "That option exists in the law. But the Parole Board only responds to a referral from the Correctional Services of Canada for a detention."
“The Parole Board cannot in law say, oh, this guy should be referred for detention," Storey said.
He said 25 representatives of the victims’ families were notified in advance on the issue of Reyat's release from prison.
The bombing had left more than 300 people dead.
