Medicine Hat man should face more hate crime charges, says human rights group

MEDICINE HAT, AB – A national human rights group is calling for a new round of hate crime charges to be laid against Loki Hulgaard, above and beyond the latest charges the Medicine Hat man is facing.

Last July, Hulgaard was charged with breaching his conditional sentence after a large amount of hate materials were discovered online.

Jewish human rights group B’nai Brith Canada says the materials were among the worst anti-Semitic hate literature they’ve ever seen, and the group is calling for Hulgaard to face additional charges.

“This individual’s original charges involve wilful promotion of hatred and if he’s responsible for these publications then he should face the same charges again,” B’nai Brith Canada’s Michal Schlesinger told CHAT News.
