An arraignment was postponed Thursday in the case of a man charged after a nationalist, far-right group stormed the Montreal newsroom of Vice Quebec.
Raphael Lévesque, the leader of the group known as Atalante, was arrested at his home in June and released on a promise to appear.

The charges stem from an incident in May when about a half-dozen members of the anti-immigration group gained entry to Vice’s newsroom in an apparent effort to intimidate journalists.
Vice Quebec reported most of the protesters wore masks, dumped clown noses on the floor and threw leaflets around the newsroom.

Quebec’s federation of journalists and Premier Philippe Couillard denounced the group’s actions as a form of intimidation.
A number of anti-fascist protesters were outside the Montreal courthouse Thursday in the event Atalante members showed up.
