Two neo-Nazis jailed over hate crimes

Two members of the Australian Nationalist Movement (ANM) neo-Nazi group have been jailed for their part in a campaign of race hate in Perth. Daniel Tyrone Klavins, 26, and Frank James Lemin, 20, earlier this week pleaded guilty to wilfully damaging numerous premises throughout the West Australian capital, including a synagogue, police station, Chinese restaurant and kosher food store. In Perth's Court of Petty Sessions today, magistrate Peter Malone sentenced Klavins to a total of 10 months behind bars for 18 counts of willful damage arising from a wave of racist and anti-semitic graffiti dating back to January 2003. Lemin, his co-accused on 11 charges, received a seven-month jail term. A third man, Benjamin Weerheym, pleaded guilty to nine counts of wilful damage and received a sentence of six months and one day, which was suspended for 12 months. siehe auch: Neo-Nazi duo jailed for race hate attacks, Two neo-Nazis jailed over Perth hate crimes
