JAKARTA - A neo-Nazi British who tried to kill an asylum seeker was sentenced to prison for more than 22 years by a British court.

Callum Parslow stabbed a man from Eritrea twice in Worcester, England, in April 2024. He had previously been looking into where asylum seekers were accommodated.

The 32-year-old wrote about the "invasion" of asylum seekers in what prosecutors described as a terrorist manifesto, which he said would be his "task to Britain" and he published on social media after the attack.

Parslow denied the attempted murder, but was found guilty after the trial on Friday, January 17. Parslow was sentenced to 22 years and eight months in prison.

Judge Ian Dove said the perpetrator's actions were undoubtedly a terrorist attack. The attack, said the judge, had a long-term psychological impact on the victim.

You are also motivated by neo-Nazi's extreme right mindset, which triggers your distorted views of violence and racism to the point where you are willing to use and allude to violence against people in the country seeking international protection, continued the judge.

After the stabbing, police found several weapons and extreme right-wing material at Parslow's address, including the Nazi flag, Adolf Hitler's book "Mein Kampf", and manifesto written by right-wing terrorists.

Parslow also had Hitler's signature tattoo on his arm, the jury said at the trial.

Bethan David, head of the Counter-Terrorism Division at the Attorney General's Office, said the attack was carried out to intimidate some people, "namely asylum seekers and those who provide accommodation for asylum seekers."
