By The British police have on Friday, 16th of August, 2024 charged an 18-year-old man and a 19-year-old woman with terrorism offences after an investigation into suspected extreme right-wing terrorism activity.
Reuters reports that the investigation was not a consequence of more than a week of riots and racist attacks which took place across the country after three young girls were killed in the northern English town of Southport on July 29.
Rex William Henry Clark of Ilford, east London, was charged with preparation of terrorist acts, while Sofija Vinogradova, of Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, was charged with preparation of terrorist acts and two counts of collecting information likely to be useful to a person preparing such an act.
“I want to reassure the public that at this time we do not believe that there is any wider threat related to this investigation, although our investigation very much continues,” said Commander Dominic Murphy, head of the Met Police’s counter terrorism command.
