Ontario judges have ordered that two women who had been detained by the RCMP on allegations of terrorism upon returning to Canada from a Syrian prison camp for ISIS suspects be released on bail.

The RCMP’s Federal Policing Integrated National Security Enforcement Team arrested Ammara Amjad and Dure Ahmed at the Montreal-Trudeau International Airport on April 6, and began seeking a terrorism peace bond against them under Canada’s Criminal Code.
