UK neo-Nazi teens jailed for encouraging attack on Prince Harry
Two young boys have been sentenced to jail in Britain for their online activity encouraging the assassination of Prince Harry, a senior member of the royal family.
The central criminal court of England and Wales, known as the Old Baily, sentenced Michal Szewczuk, 19, from Leeds, to more than four years in jail for his open encouragement of an assassination attack against Harry because he to married a non-white woman from the United States.
His friend and colleague, Oskar Dunn-Koczorowski, 18, from west London, was also handed down a 18-month term and a training order.
Szewczuk and Dunn-Koczorowski, both Polish nationals, were members of Sonnenkrieg Division, a neo-Nazi group with links to the US far-right which has preached extremism and radical activity online.
The two pleaded guilty in the hearing they attended via video link from the Belmarsh. The high-security prison just outside London has been on the headlines since April when British authorities transferred world-known press freedom activist Julian Assange after he was arrested inside the Ecuadorian embassy.
Szewczuk had argued in his comments online early in 2018 that Harry, the son of second in line to the British throne Prince Charles, had betrayed the English race in May last year when she married Meghan Markle, the former American movie star whose mother is African American.
Dunn-Koczorowski, who received a lighter sentence, had glorified Anders Breivik, the Norwegian mass murderer and anti-Muslim radical who murdered dozens of people in his home country in 2011.
The rulings come amid a historic surge in far-right and radical activity in the UK, a country where many have sought to blame minority groups like Muslims for terrorist attacks over the past years.
