Three neo-Nazis sentenced to 29 years in prison for planning to attack Leeds mosque
England
Three far-right activists have been sentenced to a total of 29 years in prison for planning a terrorist attack against an Islamic center in Leeds, a large city in the north of England located in the county of West Yorkshire. Brogan Stewart, 25, believed to be the leader of the group, was sentenced to 11 years in prison. Christopher Ringrose, 35, received 10 years, and Marco Pitzettu, 26, 8 years. The verdict was reached at Sheffield Crown Court after a nine-week trial. The three men had formed a small group that they called “Einsatz 14”, an explicit reference to Nazi units. Together, they glorified Hitler, exchanged racist remarks online and prepared for what they called a “race war.” Their main target: the Al-Amin Islamic Education Center in Leeds. During the searches, police discovered more than 200 weapons, bulletproof vests and paramilitary equipment. Judge Mrs Justice Cutts denounced a “far-right ideology still alive” among the accused, recalling that their discussions and preparations demonstrated “a visceral hatred towards black people, Muslims and immigrants”. n
