Quebec City Man Charged with Making Death Threats Against Prime Minister Mark Carney
RCMP say the investigation began July 6 and that the suspect faces an additional hate-propaganda charge.
- The RCMP charged Ousmane Bah, 45, of Quebec City, with uttering threats against Prime Minister Mark Carney, allegedly made via his Facebook page.
- Investigators launched the probe earlier this year, focusing on allegations that Bah threatened to cause death or bodily harm to the prime minister.
- Beyond the threats, Bah faces charges of promoting hatred against an identifiable group, broadening the legal scope of the case against him.
- Bah appeared in court on Thursday and remains in custody until his next scheduled appearance on Oct. 1.
- Authorities have arrested at least two other individuals for threatening Carney in recent months, including a 51-year-old Montreal man and a 31-year-old Calgary man earlier this month.
