- Ku-Klux-Klan man guilty of harassment
Cathy Coleman, PA
A court today sent the former leader of the Ku-Klux-Klan
in Britain for sentence at crown court for racially harassing
a shopkeeper following the September 11 attacks.
Bridgend Magistrates Court confirmed that Allan Beshella,
52, of Tonna Road, Maesteg, south Wales, was due to be
sentenced at Cardiff Crown Court on March 8.
Beshella had pleaded not guilty to racially aggravated
harassment but was found guilty at Port Talbot Magistrates
last month.
He was found guilty of harassing Mohammed Nawaz at his
discount store and off licence in Caerau, near Bridgend,
and taunting him about the September 11 attacks.
The offences took place on September 14 and September
28. Beshella, who returned to Wales from America 13 years
ago, was released on conditional bail. |
