The accused was convicted of three terrorism-related offences: participating in the activities of the Atom Waffen Division (AWD) terrorist group by producing propaganda and recruitment videos; knowingly facilitating a terrorist activity through the production and publication of such materials; and communicating statements that wilfully promoted hatred against Jewish people and other identifiable groups.
The court imposed a total sentence of ten years imprisonment (reduced to nine years and nine months after pre-sentence custody credit), with the accused eligible for parole under the usual criteria rather than being required to serve half the sentence.
The court found that the Kienapple principle did not apply to the multiple convictions and considered the offender's youth, remorse, renunciation of extremist beliefs, participation in rehabilitation programming, and strict bail compliance as mitigating factors.
