The legal challenge comes four years after a unanimous ruling by B.C.’s Appeal Court in December, 2018

A couple accused of plotting to blow up the B.C. Legislature with pressure cookers has filed a lawsuit against the federal government, province and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, arguing their Charter rights were violated and they were subjected to malicious prosecution and unlawful action.

Justice Catherine Bruce of the B.C. Supreme Court said in 2016 that police used deception and veiled threats to engineer the bomb plot and influence the couple to act on it. She also said the defendants proved themselves to be “marginalized, isolated people who espoused extremist jihadi views” but weren’t motivated or capable of acting on those beliefs.

The 22-page notice of civil claim, first filed in March, 2021, but amended on Monday, goes into detail about the alleged tactics used by the RCMP to coerce the couple to plant bombs in downtown Victoria on Canada Day in 2013.
