| REGINA POLICE COMMENDED BY FRIENDS OF SIMON WIESENTHAL CENTER FOR INVESTIGATING CONVICTED HATE MONGER TERRYTREMAINE Center Urges Continued Vigilance TORONTO, June 13/07 – Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies (FSWC) today commended the Regina PoliceService following its recent investigation and questioning of known neo-Nazi Terry Tremaine. “We have been monitoring Mr. Tremaine’s activities for many years, well-prior to his conviction under Section 13 of theCanadian Human Rights Act in February of this year,” said Leo Adler, FSWC Director of National Affairs. "In January 2006, we alerted the Ontario Provincial Police of his website, the National-Socialist Party of Canada whichwas removed from the Internet shortly thereafter,” he added. The National-Socialist Party of Canada claimed it was dedicated to “[S]topping and reversing the effects ofmulticulturalism and [R]esisting the Jewish/Zionist takeover of the most important social institutions of Canada.” The website also included a myriad of anti-semitic and neo-Nazipropaganda. Terry Tremaine was listed as the website’s contact person. “There is no doubt that the resurfacing of this website proves Mr. Tremaine remains devoted to the public disseminationof hate speech in this country. Coupled with the fact that a fundraising drive has now been established on another hate website, it becomes clear that he must be closely monitored by lawenforcement officials, said Adler.
