Othman Hamdan is being released from custody to live with a friend in Enderby.
Hamdan will have a number of conditions placed on him, but the North Okanagan-Shuswap MP said the decision to release Hamdan “is a source of serious concern for me and my fellow Canadians in the North Okanagan- Shuswap and beyond.”
