Neo-Nazi group using pandemic lockdown to recruit minors: Report

LONDON: An international neo-Nazi group is using the coronavirus pandemic as an opportunity to recruit UK teenagers aged as young as 14, a new report has warned. 

It comes as a record number of minors face arrests for terror offenses across Britain. The National Partisan Movement (NPM) uses social media to “regularly express antisemitism, Holocaust denial and support for mass murderers,” UK anti-racism charity Hope not Hate said.

In one NPM group chat seen by the charity, extremist posts viciously attacked Muslims and other minority groups.
