A teenager from the Quebec city area has been charged with a terrorism-related offence.
The RCMP said in a statement Thursday the teen allegedly used social media to promote the violent ideology of a group known as Atomwaffen Division.
The international neo-Nazi group was declared to be a terrorist entity by the Canadian government in 2021.
Police say the teen is believed to have produced and distributed online material with the goal of inspiring and recruiting others.
He is being charged with participation in an activity of a terrorist group and is scheduled to appear in court on Friday in Quebec City.
More to come.
