Neo-Nazi case: Two men plead not guilty to terror charges | |
(35 minutes later) | |
Two men, including a British soldier, have pleaded not guilty to a number of terror charges. | |
Lance Corporal Mikko Vehvilainen, 33 and Alexander Deakin, 22, are also accused of being members of the banned neo-Nazi group National Action. | |
Both denied possessing documents that could be useful to someone planning an act of terror. | |
But appearing at Birmingham Crown Court, neither men entered a plea with regard to membership of the group. | |
National Action was the first extreme right-wing group to be outlawed in the UK. It was added to a list of proscribed groups in 2016. | |
Mr Deakin, of Great Barr, Birmingham, also pleaded not guilty to distributing a terrorist publication. | |
And L/Cpl Vehvilainen, from Sennybridge Camp in Powys, entered not guilty pleas to two counts of posting material online that was threatening, abusive or insulting, thereby stirring up racial hatred. | |
The next hearing has been scheduled for 19 February, with a trial set to begin in March. | The next hearing has been scheduled for 19 February, with a trial set to begin in March. |
