Canarias: White Supremacist threatens violent attacks. Are You on their Hit list?

Anti-racism activists say they fear for their safety after uncovering evidence that white supremacists plan to set up a “hit list” website called Redwatch Downunder. The site will feature names, photographs, home and work addresses, car registrations and family details of anti-racism campaigners, refugee advocates, gay rights activists and other at-risk minorities. The Australian and New Zealand anti-racism group Fight dem back! discovered that Ben Weerheym, who was convicted over a spate of racist graffiti attacks in Perth last year, has been soliciting information to establish a menacing website. Fight dem back! believes that Weerheym will use this site to intimidate and harass anti-racism activists and, potentially, witnesses in the upcoming trial against his infamous mentor, Jack Van Tongeren. The original Redwatch site was established in the UK by neo-Nazi terrorist group Combat 18 and has led to violent attacks against British activists, including a car bombing. The computer of Simon Sheppard, proprietor of Redwatch UK, was seized by police on 1 May 2005 under laws prohibiting incitement to racial hatred.
