Outside the courthouse his father Sadegh Shahi said that his son will be sent to a hospital for a psychological assessment for at least 72 hours at the request of his family.
"That’s what I want," Sadegh Shahi said. "He's been suffering for 10 years now ... I hope they are going to do something for him."
'Ali is not at fault'
Shahi's family says he has a history of mental illnesses that weren't properly addressed by police and the health system.
Ali Shahi, who currently lives in Mississauga, is alleged to have made a threat to Sunwing flight 772.
"I am sorry for what happened on the flight, but Ali is not at fault," his father Shadegh Shahi said. "I blame the police and health system. We called the police for help more than 23 times in the last two to three years, but unfortunately they did nothing to help us or help my son."
