The Canadian branch of the far-right Proud Boys organisation has dissolved itself, the Reuters news agency first reported, just months after Ottawa designated the group as a “terrorist” entity.
“The truth is, we were never terrorists or a white supremacy group,” the administrator of the official Proud Boys channel on Telegram said in a statement on Sunday.
“We are electricians, carpenters, financial advisors, mechanics, etc. More than that, we are fathers, brothers, uncles and sons,” it said.
Canada added the Proud Boys to its list of “terrorist entities” on February 3, saying “the threat of ideologically motivated extremism has been identified as the most significant threat to domestic security in Canada”.
The charity concert was organised by the advocacy group Global Citizen, which aims to defeat poverty and promote equity around the world. The Duke of Sussex appeared.
