一名被指控为针对犹太人的恐怖袭击阴谋的“共谋者”的青年,周五被裁定三项指控中的两项成立。
A young person charged as the alleged "co-conspirator" of a planned terrorist attack against Jewish people was found guilty Friday of two of the three charges against him.
他被裁定于2023年底通过谋杀阴谋犯下恐怖罪,以及于2023年12月通过寻求获取禁用武器而协助恐怖活动。
He's convicted of committing a terrorist offence by conspiring to commit murder in late 2023 and facilitating a terrorist activity by seeking to acquire a prohibited firearm in December 2023.
正义法官凯里·麦克维在渥太华法庭表示,她确信该青年加入了阴谋,且其关于获取武器的讨论是真诚的。
Justice Kerry McVey told the Ottawa court that she was satisfied that the teen had joined a conspiracy, and that his discussions about obtaining a firearm were sincere.
“我在[该青年]的通讯中未发现任何合理迹象表明他并非认真对待此事,”她说。
"I find nothing in [the teen's] communications that reasonably suggests he was anything other than serious," she said.
他在另一项关于在2023年底提供和交换教学材料及宣传品以协助恐怖活动的指控中被判无罪。
He was found not guilty on a different count of facilitating terrorist activity by making available and exchanging instructional material and propaganda in late 2023.
麦克维表示,她无法在合理怀疑之外确定该青年知道他发送“无可置疑令人不安”材料的对象正在策划恐怖袭击。
McVey said she was not convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that the teen knew the person he was sending "unquestionably disturbing" material to was contemplating a terrorist attack.
“摆在我面前的问题不是内容是否具有冒犯性、惊悚性或极端主义性质,”她说。“而是检方是否已在合理怀疑之外证明[该青年]传播该材料是为了协助恐怖活动。”检方告诉法庭,他们将寻求对该青年判处成人刑罚。该渥太华居民在2024年2月被捕时年仅15岁。
"The issue before me is not whether the content was offensive, alarming, or extremist in nature," she said. "The question is whether the Crown has established beyond a reasonable doubt that [the teen] transmitted it for the purpose of assisting a terrorist activit." The Crown told court they will be seeking an adult sentence. The Ottawa resident was 15 when he was arrested in February 2024.
另一名渥太华青年在四月经过一天的不寻常审判后被裁定四项罪名成立,该审判保留了他的上诉权。
A second Ottawa teen was found guilty of four charges in April after an unusual one-day trial that preserves his rights to appeal.
由于惯例禁止公开被指控青少年的身份,两名青年的姓名均不得公布。
Neither teen's name can be published due to a routine ban preventing the identities of charged youths from becoming public.
