Two teenage neo-Nazis jailed over terror offences

Two teenage neo-Nazis, who encouraged an attack on Prince Harry have been jailed for terrorism offences.

An Old Bailey Judge has jailed 19-year-old Michal Szewczuk and 18-year-old Oskar Dunn-Koczorowski for encouraging an attack on Prince Harry for marrying a woman of mixed race, with imagery posted by the pair suggesting that the Duke of Sussex was a ‘race traitor’ who should be shot, glorified the Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik, and said white women who date non-white men should be hanged.

Dunn-Koczorowski has been given an 18-month detention and training order and Szewczuk jailed for just over four years.

Their online propaganda was deemed abhorrent and criminal. The court heard the teenagers, part of a group called the Sonnenkrieg Division, used pseudonyms to run personal accounts on the Gab social media site, as well as sharing control of the Sonnenkrieg Division's own page, on which they posted self-designed propaganda that encouraged terrorist attacks.
