Canadian Jewish News: Firebomber of Jewish School to be Paroled

File this in the "how lovely" file:
United Talmud Torahs (UTT) firebomber Sleiman El Merhebi will have to avoid people involved in “activist movements” after he is released this May, according to a Jan. 25 decision by the National Parole Board.

The parole board has imposed a special condition prohibiting El Merhebi from meeting or communicating with “persons known by legal proceedings as having been involved in activist movements.” He must also stay away from anyone with a criminal record.

El Merhebi must by law be paroled in May, because he will have served two-thirds of his 24-month prison term.
One last bit:
The day news of El Merhebi’s parole broke, Jewish People’s & Peretz School evacuated some 500 elementary students after receiving a threatening phone call at around 1 p.m. Police found nothing dangerous and said they would step up patrols in the area.
