Matthew Althorpe’s actions were linked to at least six international terror attacks, including against the LGBTQ+ community in Slovakia and at a mosque in Türkiye. Jewish groups in Canada are applauding the 20-year sentence handed down Friday to an Ontario man on terrorism-related charges. Article content The Ontario Superior Court of Justice sentenced Matthew Althorpe to 20 years imprisonment for facilitating a terrorist activity, instructing others to carry out a terrorist activity and committing an indictable offence (willfully promoting hatred) for a terrorist group. He had pleaded guilty to all charges. Article content Article content “He produced videos, images, publications, and posts on the social messaging application Telegram encouraging hate against minorities,” the Public Prosecution Service of Canada in a press release. “This was done in association with and for the benefit of the terrorist groups Atomwaffen Division and the Terrorgram Collective.” Atomwaffen Division (AWD) is an international neo-Nazi terror group that originated in the United States but has since spread to the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany and elsewhere, the RCMP said in a release in 2023 when Althorpe was arrested. “The group calls for acts of violence against racial, religious, and ethnic groups, police, and bureaucrats, to prompt the collapse of society.” Police said the Terrorgram Collective is a group of Telegram channels that share neo-fascist ideology and that produce and share manuals on how to carry out racially-motivated violence.
