Britain on Wednesday froze the assets of international neo-Nazi group Blood and Honour, the first use of the UK’s counter-terrorism sanctions to target a far-right entity.

The finance ministry said it had “reasonable grounds” to suspect that Blood and Honour was “promoting and encouraging terrorism, seeking to recruit people for that purpose and making funds available” for terror activities.

Under the order, all assets and economic resources in the UK owned or controlled by Blood and Honour and its aliases, including the violent Combat 18 group, must now be frozen.
