British alleged neo-Nazi and white supremacist Andrew Dymock has been convicted of 15 terrorism charges, and will be sentenced later this month, the BBC reported.
The organization was linked to the now-banned UK neo-Nazi terrorist group National Action, and showed a clear connection with US neo-Nazi terrorist group Atomwaffen Division, according to the BBC.
In addition to founding and organizing the groups, Dymock was also accused of writing several inflammatory articles. One article he wrote, titled "The Truth About the Holocaust," was described by UK prosecutor Jocelyn Ledward as being “clear in its encouragement of the eradication of Jewish people,” adding that “such encouragement constitutes encouragement to commit acts of terrorism. The author calls for the destruction, the eradication, the extermination of an entire race of people.”
Another article he wrote was called "Hail Victory," which stated that a "racial holy war" was inevitable.
Several other images were found on his person identifying him as possessing extremist right-wing beliefs.
According to the BBC, Dymock appeared to possess far-right extremist views for a considerable amount of time, with an examination of his computer revealing a Google translation of the phrase "Kill all of the Jews" seven years ago when he was still a teenager.
This seemingly continued for years, with a BBC News investigation in December 2018 exposing him and leading to his arrest at Gatwick Airport, where he was found with extremist right-wing literature and clothes with neo-Nazi symbols in his luggage, according to the BBC.
It was not these beliefs that had him facing trial, however. Rather, according to Ledward, he was being charged for "his encouragement of terrorist activity, of violence, as a means to shape society in accordance with his beliefs, rather than through free speech and democracy."
However, barring the swastika carved on his then-girlfriend, Dymock has steadfastly denied all accusations. Rather, he said he had been set up by his now former partner, who had attempted to recruit him to join National Action, a banned neo-Nazi terrorist group, according to the BBC, adding that his former partner was being supported by "people in the police or other agencies."
Indeed, despite being accused of spreading homophobic propaganda, Dymock claims he identifies as bisexual and leans more towards same-sex attraction, according to the BBC.
His mother, noted academic Stella Dymock, also supports her son's claims, stating after the verdict that "National Action has done this," according to Yahoo News.
