Three in court for ‘belonging to National Action group’
Focus on equal access to assisted death rather than risks of legalisation for oppressed groups wrongheaded, MPs and campaigners say
THREE people appeared in court yesterday accused of belonging to a rebranded version of banned neonazi organisation National Action.
Garry Jack, 22, of Heathland Avenue, Birmingham, Daniel Ward, 28, of Highmore Drive, Birmingham, and a 17-year-old boy appeared before Westminster magistrates charged with membership of the group contrary to section 11 of the Terrorism Act 2000.
Prosecutors say the three “continued with the membership [of National Action], albeit under a different name,” between December 2016 and September 2017 after the far-right organisation was banned.
