In a landmark ruling, a British neo-Nazi, Callum Parslow, has been sentenced to 22 years and eight months in prison for attempting to murder an Eritrean asylum seeker and attempting to disseminate extremist right-wing propaganda.

The 32-year-old committed the attack in Worcester in April 2024, after researching housing for asylum seekers. Prosecutors depicted his manifesto as a terrorist document, which Parslow post-attack tried to publish as an act of duty to England.

Judge Ian Dove characterized the incident as a terrorist attack driven by extreme neo-Nazi ideology, further affecting the asylum seeker community. Authorities discovered Nazi memorabilia at Parslow's residence, underscoring the ideological extremism behind his actions.
