Nazi-Obsessed Terrorist Sentenced to Life for Stabbing Asylum Seeker

GBUnited Kingdom|

Callum Parslow, a 32-year-old man with extremist views, has been sentenced to life imprisonment for a brutal attack on an asylum seeker in Worcestershire. Parslow was convicted of attempted murder for repeatedly stabbing 25-year-old Nahom Hagos at a hotel serving as temporary accommodation for asylum seekers on April 2, 2024.

During the trial, it emerged that Parslow had expressed anger about Channel crossings and described his attack as “exterminating the invasive species” in a manifesto found on his phone. He was found to have researched hotels housing asylum seekers before targeting Hagos, who was identified solely based on his ethnicity. Parslow inflicted severe wounds to Hagos’ chest and hand, requiring hospitalization for treatment.

Judge Mr. Justice Dove emphasized the unprovoked nature of the attack, stating it was undoubtedly a terrorist act motivated by Parslow’s neo-Nazi ideology. He received a life sentence with a minimum term of 22 years and eight months. In statements made post-attack, Parslow attempted to justify his actions by claiming he was merely "tending to the great garden of England."

Asylum seeker Hagos detailed the long-lasting pain and distress he has experienced since the incident, saying it has forever altered his sense of safety and well-being. The repercussions of the attack extend beyond physical injuries, deeply impacting Hagos’ life and mental health.

Additionally, it was revealed that Parslow had a prior conviction for stalking women and had been subjected to anti-radicalization programs in the past. Officials have condemned his actions as an attempt to intimidate marginalized communities and have reiterated their commitment to addressing the threats posed by far-right extremism.

Researchers Discover Hidden 'White Hydrogen' Reserves That Could Power Earth for 170,000 Years

In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have identified substantial deposits of natural hydrogen, referred to as "white hydrogen," located deep within the Earth’s crust. This find, revealed by a collaborative effort involving the University of Oxford, Durham University, and the University of Toronto, has the potential to supply clean energy for the next 170,000 years without carbon dioxide emissions. Unlike conventional hydrogen, which is typically produced through fossil fuels, white hydrogen occurs naturally and can be extracted without releasing harmful pollutants. Researchers emphasize that this represents one of the cleanest energy sources available, capable of revolutionizing the global energy landscape and providing energy independence as the world shifts away from fossil fuels. The hydrogen is formed through chemical reactions between specific rock types and water and has been mapped in locations such as Canada's Canadian Shield. While accessing these reserves will involve innovative technologies, researchers have initiated a new company, Snowfox Discovery Ltd, aimed at commercializing this resource. With global hydrogen demand expected to increase significantly by 2050, the implications of this discovery could reshape energy strategies worldwide.
