Cambridge grad in court after ‘calling for extermination of Jewish people’
The maths graduate is on conditional bail
Oliver Bel, a maths student who graduated from Cambridge last year, has appeared in court after he was accused of stating online that extermination was the “best option” for Jewish people.
The 23-year-old allegedly made the statement on a Neo-Nazi forum, “Iron March”, in September 2017.
He is charged with using a “public communications network” to send the “grossly offensive” message that breaches the Communications Act 2003.
The 23-year-old is currently on conditional bail and appeared at the Old Bailey via a video link.
He is also accused of holding a document that could be useful to someone committing or preparing an act of terrorism.
Last November, he was allegedly in possession of a manual, known as the “Anarchist’s Cookbook”, containing instructions on various explosives and weapons.
He will next appear in court for a plea and trial preparation hearing on 12th June. There is also a provisional five-day trial set to take place in the week commencing November 2nd.
