Far-Right Group Sends Chilling Death Threats to Black and Trans Women
Neo-Nazi Hate Letters Spark Police Probe
The Metropolitan Police have launched a probe after far-right extremists hand-delivered terrifying death threats to prominent Black and trans women. The letters, issued by banned neo-Nazi group National Action, contained graphic details of planned murder based on race and gender.
Activists Targeted by National Action
Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu, a Black activist, academic, and lawyer, and trans presenter India Willoughby were shockingly sent the hate-filled letters on Monday 20 February. National Action, proscribed as a terrorist organisation in 2016, has continued operating in secret despite stiff penalties.
Dr Mos-Shogbamimu shared the sickening letter on Twitter. It called her a “constant troublemaker and liar” who “makes a shabby living by criticising ethnic white Europeans.” The letter threatened her, her husband, and children with “execution” — even naming her husband’s address.
It went on to describe her as a “dreg of multicultural society” with vile racist slurs and warned, “We suggest you leave the UK as soon as possible… Your execution, Adeshola, is just a matter of time.”
Willoughby Receives Similar Threat
India Willoughby revealed she too received a menacing letter, delivered by hand without a stamp, targeting her for being transgender. Her accountant received the chilling note filled with graphic threats. She told Twitter: “This is what the British press, the GC movement, and the government have done.”
Willoughby warned, “If anything happens to me, I hold the GCs, the government, right-wing media, and their celebrity supporters responsible.” She slammed the silence of major newspapers over the threats.
Met Police Take Threats Seriously
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson confirmed they are investigating the letters from “National Action London Cell.” Officers have contacted the victims for statements and are offering full support. No arrests have been made yet.
The force urged the public: “If you have received a similar letter or have information, call 0800 789 321 to assist with our enquiries.”
