UK Government Freezes Assets of Far-Right Neo-Nazi Group Blood and Honour
The UK government has frozen the assets of the far-right group Blood and Honour, along with its affiliates Combat 18 and 28 Radio, marking the first time financial sanctions have been imposed on an extreme right-wing organization. This action, led by the Treasury, differs from previous proscriptions by the Home Office, focusing on restricting the group’s financial operations rather than outright banning it. Authorities suspect Blood and Honour’s involvement in terrorist activities, including recruitment and funding. The asset freeze prohibits anyone in the UK from providing financial support to the named entities.
