Saadi will need to respect several conditions, including not communicating with or being within 100 metres of any universities and not using the Internet unless he’s supervised.

Saadi agreed to hand over his passport to authorities and follow a strict curfew. Two people agreed to put up a combined $10,000 deposit.

As part of the conditions of his release, Quebec Court Judge Nathalie Fafard also ordered Saadi to be evaluated by a psychiatrist within the next 48 hours and to undergo a court-ordered evaluation at the Philippe Pinel Institute.
