BNP members 'exposed online' |
|
The entire membership list of the British National Party has been published on the internet.
Over 10,000 names, home addresses and telephone numbers were posted on a website on Monday evening (November 17th), reportedly by an upset member.
The party won a High Court injunction in Manchester earlier this year banning any publication of such a list.
Nick Griffin, the party's leader, said the act was a "disgraceful act of treachery".
In a statement, Mr Griffin said he has made a complaint to Dyfed-Powys Police and will be giving formal statements to support the BNP's demand for a police investigation into "a series of very serious potential crimes, including breaches of the Data Protection Act, theft and receipt of stolen goods and breaches of the Human Rights Act".
Police officers have been banned from being active members of the party since 2004 but the list allegedly names serving and former officers, teachers and soldiers. |
