A 24-year-old aboriginal Australian named Greg Ceissman was released from prison on Monday. He was arrested on suspicion of planning a terrorist attack in Sydney. While serving his sentence, he also spread the extreme ideas of the IS organization in prison. Although the police considered Ceissman a high-risk figure, the judge decided to release him.
The Daily Mail reported that Ceissman was accused of planning an bomb attack in Sydney at the Bankstown Shopping Centre.
In addition, he was charged with threatening the Marrickville police station.

Besides, he needs to report regularly to the police station, but he can`t get close to Marrickville.. It is reported that Ceissman lived in Marrickville, before being imprisoned and often clashed with local police. But just five days after his release, police carried out a surprise inspection of Ceissman and found that Ceissman was using Google Maps to study the profile of the New State Police Academy. His actions also violated the relevant regulations, the police arrested him again.
