A far-right extremist who stabbed an asylum seeker in a hotel attack has been sentenced to life in prison.
(EPICSTORIAN) – A British man with neo-Nazi sympathies has been sentenced to life imprisonment after launching a brutal knife attack on an asylum seeker.
Callum Parslow, 27, carried out the assault at a Worcestershire hotel, where migrants were being housed, leaving his victim critically injured, according to DailyMail.
Woolwich Crown Court heard that Parslow, who had a history of extremist ideology, stormed the hotel in what prosecutors described as a “premeditated act of terrorism.” Witnesses recalled him shouting, “This is our country!” before stabbing the victim in the chest.

The victim, an asylum seeker from the Middle East, survived after emergency responders provided life-saving treatment. In court, he described the attack as “the most terrifying moment of my life.”
Judge Edward Hamilton condemned Parslow’s actions as “a hate-fueled attempt to instill fear in an already vulnerable community.” Sentencing him to a minimum of 22 years and eight months, the judge added, “Terrorism in any form has no place in our society.”
Authorities confirmed Parslow was radicalized online and had previously expressed admiration for far-right extremists. Security experts warned this case highlights a growing trend of violent extremism targeting asylum seekers in the UK.
