Lords back plans to proscribe neo-Nazi Feuerkrieg Division group

The House of Lords has backed plans by the Home Office to proscribe the neo-Nazi group, Feuerkrieg Division.

The group is active in North America and Europe, and the proscription order means that its members could face up to ten years in jail.

Such proscriptions assist in deterring recruitment to neo-Nazi groups and broadcast the Government’s intolerance for far-right activity.

Last month four members of National Action, a proscribed neo-Nazi terrorist group, were sentenced to prison.
