A teenager from the Quebec City area has been charged with a terrorism-related offence.<\/p>\n

The RCMP said in a statement Thursday<\/a> the teen allegedly used social media to promote the violent ideology of a group known as Atomwaffen Division.<\/p>\n

The international neo-Nazi group was founded in the U.S. in 2013 and was declared to be a terrorist entity by the Canadian government in 2021.<\/p>\n

It claims to be inspired by the serial killer\u00a0Charles Manson<\/a> and posits that\u00a0history will end in a race war. <\/p>\n

RCMP Sgt. \u00c9ric Gasse confirmed the teen, who cannot be legally identified because he is a minor,\u00a0was arrested in September 2024. <\/p>\n

Gasse told CBC News the minor was questioned by investigators, who seized his electronic devices. He was released on a promise to appear. <\/p>\n

The teen is believed to have produced and distributed online material with the goal of inspiring and recruiting others. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

In 2022, around 60 RCMP\u00a0officers conducted\u00a0raids southwest of Quebec City, targeting people connected to the Atomwaffen Division.<\/p>\n
