This ontology consolidates discussions and analyses concerning the efforts and processes involved in the rehabilitation of individuals who were formerly prisoners of extremism or terrorism as they reintegrate into society. This publication is essential for comprehending the underlying causes, contributing factors, and governmental initiatives aimed at controlling and combating terrorist activities within society. The international network of terrorist organisations has extensively utilised social media platforms to attract new recruits worldwide. Regardless of gender, involvement in these terrorist groups renders individuals victims manipulated for political agendas by certain vested interests. Although such movements are predominantly concentrated in the Middle East, the Southeast Asian region, including Malaysia, frequently serves as a strategic hub for terrorist activities, including recruitment and illegal offshore financial transactions. Sharing the personal narratives of former prisoners of these organisations facilitates a more comprehensive discourse regarding the functions and roles of relevant institutions and strategies aimed at prevention, and enables an assessment of whether current intervention measures are effective or require revision.
