A 25-year-old Prince Edward Island man is facing what the RCMP are describing as the first hate crime charges laid in the province after a lengthy investigation into “anti-Semitic” social media posts.
Matthan Runighan has been charged with public promotion of hatred against Jews and wilful promotion of anti-Semitism in connection with the investigation, the RCMP said in a Dec. 23 press release.
