Winnipeg Man Charged with Terrorism, Linked to MKY

Nevin Thunder Young, a 19-year-old from Winnipeg, has been charged with multiple terrorism-related offenses, including facilitating terrorist activity and participating in a terrorist group. These charges follow an investigation by the RCMP's National Security Enforcement Section that began in February after a referral from the Winnipeg Police Service. Young was previously charged with 26 counts of mischief related to antisemitic graffiti in the Charleswood neighborhood. He is allegedly linked to the Maniacs Murder Cult (MKY), a violent extremist group with neo-Nazi ideals founded in Ukraine, and the leader of MKY was indicted in the U.S. for soliciting hate crimes and acts of mass violence. Young remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in Winnipeg Provincial Court.
