Canada, 5 Shawwal 1436/21 July 2015 (MINA) – A group of hacker activists known as Anonymous has warned it will take revenge for the recent killing of one of its members by the Canadian police.

The fatality was caused on Thursday, when a police officer shot and killed a protesting man “in a Guy Fawkes mask” in the city of Dawson Creek, northeastern British Columbia. The victim had been mistaken for a suspect, Russia Today  and Press TV quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA).

Angered by the incident, the group has issued a video message, launching a campaign for justice “because the world has the right to know every detail about killer cops.”

“This RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) officer must be named, fired and charged for the murder of our brother,” the message pointed out.

“If we do not receive justice, rest assured there will be revenge. We call upon our fellow Anons in Canada to take to the streets and protest at the RCMP headquarters … until our demands for justice are met … We call upon the global collective of Anonymous to remove the RCMP cyber infrastructure from the Internet.”

The incident took place after calls were made complaining of damaged property at a restaurant in Dawson Creek. According to reports, police arrived at the scene and saw a man whom they thought was the one responsible for the property damage.

“We will most certainly avenge one of our own when they are cut down in the streets while protesting the earth wrecking environmental policies of the Canadian government,” the group said.

Anonymous says the victim was the fourth member of the group to be killed by security forces around the world. (T/P010/NMT)
