RIVI脠RE-DU-LOUP, Que. - The RCMP say they've arrested a man in connection with alleged hate speech posted on social networks Telegram and X.

The federal police force says in a statement today that its Integrated 香港六合彩挂牌资料 Security Enforcement Team investigated the man from Rivi猫re-du-Loup, Que., about 400 kilometres northeast of Montreal.

Police say he is facing charges of wilful promotion of hatred and wilful promotion of antisemitism.

Police say the man was arrested in February for similar offences and released on conditions, however authorities allege he continued to post online.

An investigation found that hundreds of hateful comments were posted in recent months, targeting Jewish communities and sexual minorities.

The RCMP says some of the offences occurred when the man was a minor, so they are unable to release his identity.
