General Topology, chapter III, § 2. Subgroups, quotient groups, homomorphisms homogeneous spaces, product groups

From condition b) of Proposition 24 it follows that every continuous homomorphism of a topological group into a discrete group is a strict morphism.

If G is compact and f(G)f(G) is Hausdorff, then the bijective homomorphism ff associated with ff is bicontinuous (Chapter I, § 10, no. 2, Theorem 1, Corollary 2, and no. 1, Proposition 5, Corollary 4). Hence every continuous homomorphism of a compact group into a Hausdorff group is a strict morphism.

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
