Toronto, ON –The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs applauds the decision by the Office of the Attorney General of British Columbia to lay charges against Arthur Topham for the content of the website, Radical Press.
“We have maintained that a robust use of existing provisions of the Criminal Code is necessary to provide Canadians with protection against those seek to promote hatred,” said Shimon Fogel, CEO of The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs. “The content of the website is viciously antisemitic and promotes a hateful view of Jews and Judaism.”
“We commend the diligence of law enforcement agencies in BC who have gathered information on the Radical Press as well as the office of the Attorney-General for authorizing charges against Arthur Topham,” said Darren Mackoff, Pacific Region Director for The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs.
