Australia Imposes Sanctions on Online White Supremacist Network in Landmark Move
Australia has imposed sanctions on the extreme right-wing online network 'Terrorgram' to combat antisemitism and online extremism, following similar actions by Britain and the United States.
Foreign Minister Penny Wong stated that engaging with 'Terrorgram' will become a criminal offense, with offenders facing up to 10 years in jail and heavy fines.
The Australian government has also sanctioned other right-wing groups, including the National Socialist Order and the Russian Imperial Movement, according to Wong.
Australia has experienced a rise in attacks on synagogues and Jewish properties since the Israel-Gaza war began in October 2023, causing fear among the Jewish community.
