6 members of the far-right National Action, a terrorist organisation banned in the United Kingdom, were sentenced yesterday in Birmingham Crown Court, in England.

National Action is a far-right group that operates in the UK, which was founded in 2013. In Britain, it is considered a terrorist organisation under British law ( underTerrorism Act 2000) and it has been illegal to be a member of it, in the UK, since late 2016.

Two neo-Nazi parents, Adam Thomas, 22, and Claudia Ptatas, 38, who gave their child the middle name ‘Adolf’ in honour of Hitler were jailed today. They also had swastika cushions in their house. Adam was sentenced to six and a half years and Claudia to just five years. Apparently, Claudia Patas also said to another National Action member, ‘all Jews must be put to death’. Adam Thomas also owned a book containing instructions on how to make a functioning bomb. Reportedly, he also said that he ‘found that all non-whites were intolerable’.

Darren Fletcher, 28, admitted to being a member of National Action. He had also taught his daughter how to do the Nazi salute when she was a toddler. Daniel Bugunovic, 27, was called a ‘committed National Action leader, propagandist and strategist’. He was also convicted of inciting racial hatred for spreading National Action stickers around Birmingham’s Aston University in June 2016. Joel Wilmore was National Action’s ‘banker’ for the Midlands. He pleaded guilty to owning instructions on how to make a bomb and being part of the group. Nathan Pryke, a van-driver, was also sentenced. He was the ‘security enforcer’ of this group. He admitted being part of National Action.
