Guardian Unlimited -* White supremacist aids BNP

A white supremacist linked to the murderer of the South African Communist party leader Chris Hani in 1993 has been playing a key role in the British National party's London election campaign. Arthur Kemp has been drafted in by the party leader, Nick Griffin, to coordinate its attempt to win a seat on the London assembly. In May he and Mr Griffin attended a rally of 60 BNP supporters in Bromley. Mr Kemp was one of a number of far-right activists arrested after Hani's murder. He was later released without charge, but Clive Derby-Lewis, to whose wife Mr Kemp was said to have supplied a list of names and addresses, including Hani's, was one of two men sentenced to death. He was said to have organised the shooting. The Polish-born Janusz Walus, who was convicted of shooting Hani, was found to have material drawn from Mr Kemp's list in his flat. Their death sentences were commuted to life imprisonment. At the murder trial Mr Kemp admitted producing the list but denied having knowingly supplied a 'hitlist'.
