Australia’s leading civil rights organisation has lamented the assault of a Channel 9 security guard by a neo-Nazi yesterday.
Thomas Sewell, the leader of the National Socialist Network, racially abused the Melbourne security guard and punched him several times. Sewell then posted video of the appalling attack online. Dvir Abramovich, Chairman of the Anti-Defamation Commission, wished the security guard a “full and speedy recovery”. “We are deeply saddened and horrified by this cowardly and sickening attack and condemn it in strongest possible terms,” Dr Abramovich said. “This assault, which has no place in our society, is another reminder of the racist ideology of the neo-Nazi movement and how quickly its agents of hate are willing to engage in violence.
