(Global News) A local Muslim man is suing the People’s Party of Canada (PPC) and several associates after his name and image were used and branded as a “terrorist” online.
Oumer Kinnarath filed a statement of claim on Oct. 8, 2020, against the PPC, ABC Inc. and candidates Steven Fletcher and Yogi Henderson. He also names Monique Choiselat, who was the CEO of the PPC’s Winnipeg Centre Riding Association, and a John and Jane Doe.
Also named in the lawsuit are Todd McDougall and Derek Storie, both associated with Winnipeg Alternative Media, a volunteer-based website.
The incident began when Kinnarath, a local activist and founder of Fascist Free Treaty One (FFI1), learned of a PPC rally happening in July 2019 at local gallery Cre8ery, according to the lawsuit.
