They were arrested in April 2015 and denied bail soon after.
The two were students at the time at Collège de Maisonneuve and the Crown called their arrests a “preventive measure.”

Jamali and Djermane each face four charges: attempting to leave Canada to commit a terror act abroad; possession of an explosive substance; facilitating a terrorist act; and committing an act under the direction or for the profit of a terrorist organization.
They are seeking two separate trials: one on the charge of attempting to leave Canada to commit a terror act abroad and another on the three other counts.
