Teenager who killed herself after terror charges was groomed by neo-Nazi

The inquest heard that Rhianan, who was a looked-after child in local authority care at the time, had autism and self-harmed because she had “too many emotions” and “did not know how to deal with them”. An inquest has heard a teenager who killed herself after being charged with terrorism offences had been groomed by a neo-Nazi. Chesterfield Coroner’s Court was told that Rhianan Rudd, who was 16 when she died, developed an “obsession with Hitler” and spoke about wanting to “blow up” a Jewish place of worship after being exploited by an extremist. Chief coroner Judge Alexia Durran said: “Rhianan, from Chesterfield, died on May 19 2022 at Bluebell House Residential Home in Nottinghamshire, where she was found with a ligature around her neck.” She became the youngest person in the UK to be charged with terror offences, but the charges were dropped five months before her death when evidence emerged that she had been groomed. The inquest heard that Rhianan, who was a looked-after child in local authority care at the time, had autism and self-harmed because she had “too many emotions” and “did not know how to deal with them” (…) During an assessment later that month, it was recorded that Rhianan had an “obsession with Hitler”, and the court heard she had created a shrine to him in her bedroom and was a “Holocaust denier”. A student incident statement in September 2020 outlined messages she sent on WhatsApp stating: “wants to kill someone in the school or blow up a Jewish place of worship” and that she “does not care who she kills and nothing matters any more”.

White supremacist groups using pedophilia conspiracies to grow support, warns Hamilton researcher

We should all be against pedophilia, that’s fine, right? Yes, and also not like this,’ says McMaster prof. White supremacist groups are using issues of wider interest — like pedophilia — and disinformation to recruit new members and build support, according to experts in Canada and the U.S. A McMaster University professor in Hamilton says, in the wake of another demonstration by Hamilton-based group Nationalist-13, that should be worrying. Understanding how these groups are recruiting should also inform how elected officials, police and others combat hate, Ameil Joseph, a McMaster University social work associate professor, said in an interview this week. On Sunday, neo-Nazi group Nationalist-13 gathered in front of city hall dressed all in black, wearing masks and performing a Nazi salute, according to pictures viewed by CBC Hamilton. Members of the group were also seen in pictures holding a banner that said “no mercy for pedo scum.” (,..) Joseph said these hate demonstrations can’t be looked at as one-offs, but rather as a growing, organized movement that institutions need to be worried about. Nationalist-13, also known as NS13, is a group known as a fight club, also called an active club within white nationalist circles. As reported by CBC, active clubs are part of a white supremacist and neo-Nazi network that has grown globally in recent years, increasingly moving from online forums to real-world training groups and anti-immigration protests. Active clubs were also found to be training in Hamilton parks. These training sessions are also part of the groups’ recruitment and propaganda. Joseph said extremist hate groups also make antisemitic claims related to pedophilia conspiracy theories. He pointed to research from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a legal advocacy group dedicated to fighting extremism in the U.S., that looks at that link. In the research, the SPLC says neo-Nazi groups claim Jewish people manipulate society to erode “traditional” family and social norms. The research also points to these groups’ anti-2SLGBTQ+ views.

‘Fighting age males’ and coded swastikas: How the far-right is using gaming to recruit the next generation of Nazis

Far right actors have used gaming to recruit youngsters for some time but experts say they are increasingly using codes and imagery to avoid moderation. Far-right groups are increasingly using coded language and imagery on gaming platforms to bypass content moderators and radicalise young people, experts have warned.  Extremists use gaming as an initial place of a bonding before directing young people to platforms like Telegram and Discord where the content becomes more overtly ideological and racist. The phrase “fighting age males” and words like “invaders” are often used by far-right groups like Britain First and Patriotic Alternative to depict asylum seekers and refugees as security threats. Experts say both groups are active in online gaming and streaming. Academics spoke to The Ferret following revelations that Scotland’s terrorism prevention programme witnessed a record number of referrals last year – with the highest proportion made over far right concerns. There were 162 referrals in 2024/25, an increase of 42 per cent compared to the previous year – and 38 per cent related to extreme right wing concerns. There are also fears that more teenagers could be groomed online due to rising youth unemployment in the UK. ar right groups recruit online and British and US intelligence agencies have previously warned that extremists exploit the gaming environment to target young people.  Call of Duty, a first-person military shooter game, has been used by far-right groups as a recruiting tool for teenage gamers, as has Minecraft, an “open world’ creative building game often played by younger children. Both games have millions of online players. Online gaming involves interactive gameplay with real-time conversations, often anonymously, creating relationships among users that might not exist in the real world and experts warn this environment provides opportunities for groups to target young people who may be susceptible to extremist messaging. (…) The proscribed neo-Nazi terror group Atomwaffen Division is also believed to target gamers. In 2018, the BBC revealed it had found several individuals in the UK corresponding with its members over Discord, an online gaming chat platform. They launched their own group known as Sonnenkrieg Division, which was later proscribed. It was linked to the now banned System Resistance Network, which was active in Dundee, as reported by The Ferret. “They’re looking out for individuals that might be expressing grievances, young people that might align with their ideology,” Allchorn said. “They’re inhabiting spaces, usually with an anonymised profile, using language that they know won’t trigger automated moderation.”  Code words used include “great replacement” which alludes to a conspiracy theory and “14” or “14 words” which is numeric shorthand tied to a white supremacist slogan. Hidden symbols to circumvent banned words that would be picked up by automated moderation tools, Allchorn added, including symbols stitched together to represent a swastika. They’re looking out for individuals that might be expressing grievances, young people that might align with their ideology. They’re inhabiting spaces, usually with an anonymised profile, using language that they know won’t trigger automated moderation. — Dr William Allchorn, Anglia Ruskin University After initial contact in gaming spaces, conversations frequently move to encrypted apps, where explicit white supremacist propaganda appears. “The gaming space functions as the discovery layer,” Allchorn said, adding that the “ideological consolidation” occurs in private channels on platforms like Discord where conversations shift toward grievance narratives including migration, cultural replacement, masculinity, and anti-LGBT rhetoric.

80 Rechtsextreme laufen um Tollensesee

Am Samstag, den 28. Februar, fand der diesjährige „Leistungsmarsch“ der rechtsextremen Szene in Neubrandenburg statt. Vor Ort versammelten sich rund 80 Personen, die etwa 35 Kilometer um den Tollensesee liefen. KATAPULT MV gelang es erstmals Fotoaufnahme von den Verpflegungsstützpunkten der Neonazis zu machen. (…) Seit 2004 findet der Tollensemarsch statt. Initiiert wurde das Zusammentreffen in der Vergangenheit vom Heimat-Politiker David Petereit. Das ehemalige Landtagsmitglied hatte nachweislich Kontakt zum NSU-Kerntrio1, das unter anderem am Mord von Mehmet Turgut in Rostock verantwortlich ist. Schon 2025 nahm Petereit nicht an der Wanderung teil. In diesem Jahr war er ebenfalls nicht unter den Teilnehmenden. Wie auch im Vorjahr beginnen die Neonazis gegen 9 Uhr ihre Wanderung. Eine halbe Stunde später sollen die ersten Rechtsextremist:innen in Höhe des Strandbads Broda anzutreffen sein. Rund 80 Personen – darunter mutmaßliche Teenager sowie ältere Erwachsene – marschieren entlang des Sees. Einige tragen Militärkleidung, andere Joggingoutfits. Neben den etlichen vermummten Gesichtern sind aber auch bekannte Personen der rechtsextremen Szene in MV erkennbar: Darunter unter anderem die III. Weg-Anhänger David Mallow, Kevin Jeske, Roy Porsch und Alexander Wündsch. Während Mallow vor allem im Landkreis Rostock aktiv ist, agieren Jeske, Porsch und Wündsch hauptsächlich in Vorpommern-Greifswald. In ihrer Nähe läuft auch der Burschenschaftler Max Bartusch. Bartusch hat sich in der Vergangenheit für die NPD engagiert2 und vertritt als Rechtsanwalt sowohl AfD-Politiker:innen sowie Hammerskins vor Gericht.3

Bekannter Neonazi wollte wie #Breivik Ausländer töten: Berliner Staatsanwaltschaft beantragt dauerhafte Unterbringung in Psychiatrie – #terror

Dan E. nannte den Rechtsterroristen Anders Breivik sein Vorbild und kündigte an, Menschen zu töten. Die Staatsanwaltschaft sieht allerdings Anzeichen für eine mögliche Schuldunfähigkeit. Ein bekannter Rechtsextremist aus Bayern, der Ende September festgenommen worden war, soll nun dauerhaft in die Psychiatrie kommen. Wie die Berliner Staatsanwaltschaft am Freitag mitteilte, hat die Behörde vor dem Landgericht Berlin I ein Sicherungsverfahren gegen den 31-Jährigen eingeleitet. Der Mann soll in einer sogenannten therapeutischen Wohngemeinschaft in Kreuzberg mehrfach mit Tötungen gedroht und auch ein verbotenes Messer besessen haben. Die Ermittler gehen davon aus, dass der Mann zur Tatzeit aufgrund einer psychiatrischen Erkrankung schuldunfähig gewesen sein könnte. Es lägen Anhaltspunkte dafür vor, hieß es. Ziel des Verfahrens ist daher seine dauerhafte Unterbringung in einem psychiatrischen Krankenhaus. Dem Mann werden in drei Fällen eine Bedrohung, eine Störung des öffentlichen Friedens durch die Androhung von Straftaten sowie ein Verstoß gegen das Waffengesetz vorgeworfen. Bei dem Mann handelt es sich um Dan E., einen früheren Regionalkader der Partei „Die Rechte“, der vor rund zehn Jahren im Umfeld der Münchner Pegida-Bewegung aktiv war. Im vergangenen Jahr war er in Berlin im Dunstkreis des jungen Neonazis Julian M. und seiner extrem gewaltbereiten Gruppierung „Deutsche Jugend Voran“ (DJV) aufgefallen. Die Amokdrohung In seiner Berliner Therapie-WG soll Dan E. am 24. September 2025 seinem Betreuer gesagt haben, er wolle eine andere Person erstechen, und dabei ein Messer gezeigt haben. Zwei Tage später habe er dem Betreuer gegenüber angekündigt, sich selbst das Leben zu nehmen – und zuvor „Ausländer“ zu töten, um anschließend durch einen sogenannten „Suicide by Cop“ zu sterben, also im Kampf mit der Polizei getötet zu werden.
