Canadian Ethnic Cleansing Team

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Canadian Ethnic Cleansing Team (CECT) was an Ontario-based hate group lead by Alexan Kulbashian and associated with fellow CECT member James Scott Richardson and his neo-Nazi organization, the Tri-City Skins.

The group was active in the late 1990s until soon after the September 11 attacks when the CECT wrote on their Internet newsletter: "B’nai B’rith offices, Mossad temples and any Jew [or] Arab Temple, building, house and cars. There are no innocent Jews especially in a time of war." As a result, CECT members were arrested and charged with making death threats against individuals of Islamic and Jewish background. [1].

The CECT, Tri-City Skins, Kulbashian and Richardson were subject to a human rights complaint by Richard Warman. On March 10, 2006, the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal found that Richardson and Kulbashian were liable in violating the Canadian Human Rights Act . The two men were fined $8000.00 as a result of the decision. Kulbashian's Internet service provider, Affordable-Spaces.com, was fined an additional $3000.00. This case marked the first time in Canadian history that an Internet service provider has been found guilty of hosting a websites promoting ethnic hatred against visible minorities. [2]
