Charles Juma and Jonathan Nicola

Karen Greenwood: Anna Pape says the plan comprises a cash deposit of $2,000 and a guarantee of another $5,000 from a family friend, Charles Juma, who said he would ensure Nicola showed up for future hearings, according to CTV. The presiding board member, Karen Greenwood, agreed the proposal mitigated any risk that Nicola, who appeared via video conference, would flee and ordered his release. A spokeswoman for the Immigration and Refugee Board says a government lawyer told a detention review on Monday that Jonathan Nicola, incarcerated in Windsor, Ont., now had a viable release plan. Nicola is required to report every two weeks to the Canada Border Services Agency, reside with Juma, and abide by a curfew. No hearing on whether he is inadmissible to Canada has been scheduled, Pape said. He also had to surrender his passport and is forbidden from working or studying without authorization.
