An 18-year-old male who was criminally charged with public incitement of hatred after hanging posters at a public high school is being represented in court by lawyers from The Democracy Fund (TDF), a registered charity.

TDF said in an Aug. 9 news release that the teenager was alleged to have hung posters at a public high school containing a QR code that linked to a video that was allegedly “hateful towards the transgender community.”
