   Leeds, United Kingdom – Sam Melia, the UK-based nationalist jailed over   
   politically-themed stickers, has now been denied access to his own children   
   by prison authorities.   
      
   According to a statement by Melia’s wife, Laura Towler, prison officials   
   have classified her non-violent husband as a so-called Person Posing a Risk   
   to Children (PPRC) due to his perceived “racist and offensive attitudes.”   
   Additionally, Towler states that she cannot mention her kids during   
   visiting hours or provide him with pictures of their two children.   
      
   “My husband, political prisoner Sam Melia, has been banned by the state and   
   HMP Hull from having any contact with his children while he is in prison,”   
   read a statement on Towler’s official Telegram page. “Not only this, but he   
   is not allowed any photographs of our children, and I’m not even allowed to   
   mention them to him when I speak with him.”   
      
   “After serving three months of his sentence already and having full contact   
   (including visits) with our two-year-old and one-month-old daughters, they   
   have now decided that Sam is a Person Posing Risk to Children because of   
   Sam’s ‘racist posters, insignia and literature’ and ‘racist and   
   offensive   
   attitudes,’ it continued.   
      
   According to a policy and procedure outline listed by the Pan-Dorset   
   Safeguarding Children Partnership, UK prisons are required “to actively   
   encourage prisoners to maintain meaningful family ties while they are in   
   custody.” However, they also have the “statutory duty” to “identify   
   prisoners who have potential or confirmed” risk of harming children.   
      
   Melia, who was sentenced to prison earlier this year for “inciting racial   
   hatred” for his role in the production of lawful, truthful stickers, had a   
   clean criminal history and is a non-violent offender. His incarceration has   
   already ensured that he has missed the birth of his second daughter.   
      
   Many of the stickers Melia was said to have created warned of racial   
   demographic change, with taglines that read, “They have to go back,”   
   “There   
   is a war on whites,” and “They seek conquest, not asylum.”   
      
   The prison term was handed to him by Judge Tom Bayliss KC, a civil servant   
   with a documented history of letting pedophiles and other deviants off with   
   a suspended sentence. After what some have called a “draconian show trial,”   
   Melia’s plight quickly took hold throughout sympathetic organizations all   
   across the world, with some even marching in protest of his heavy-handed   
   repression.   
      
   In a statement published on the official website of Towler and Melia’s   
   Patriotic Alternative, Towler asserts that in order to shake off the full   
   contact restrictions that come with a PPRC classification, the two must   
   first complete a “multi-agency risk assessment” process, which could take   
   weeks or even months to fulfill.   
      
   “I’ve asked HMP Hull to clarify why a man found guilty of encouraging the   
   stickering of lampposts has restrictions put on him that sound more fitting   
   for a child abuser,” said Towler. “They’ve informed me that whenever   
   somebody is flagged as a PPRC, they get the full force of restrictions put   
   on them until an assessment is carried out. In order to get this assessment   
   moving, Sam has had to fill out a form for both of our daughters to say he   
   wants contact with them.”   
      
   “…It could be weeks or even months. This means that Sam will miss out on   
   maintaining a strong relationship with our toddler, building a relationship   
   with our newborn baby, and our children will miss out on seeing and   
   speaking with their dad,” she continued.   
      
   The criminal justice system in the UK appears to turn a blind eye towards   
   those who actually prey on children, however. In October, it was reported   
   that rapists, sex offenders, and child predators could soon be spared jail   
   entirely, citing data that alleged English and Welsh prisons were at full   
   capacity. The move coincided with a plan to release many lower-risk inmates   
   to free up beds.   
      
   In November of 2018, a convicted member of a grooming gang was allowed by   
   the UK government to “play a part” in the raising of a child with the woman   
   he was convicted of raping. While neither the victim nor the suspect was   
   named in the report, it further alleged that the inmate was allowed a   
   chance to seek visits from the child.   
      
   “These restrictions are complete overkill for a “criminal” such as Sam   
   and   
   amount to nothing more than the political persecution of a loving father   
   and husband,” Towler continued. “Sam is heartbroken at the prospect of not   
   being able to see his children and although our newborn baby has no idea   
   what’s going on, our toddler is confused as to why she’s no longer allowed   
   to see or talk to her daddy.”   
      
   The apparent hypocrisy did not go unnoticed for long. Online, those who   
   consider themselves longtime allies of Towler and Melia rushed to show   
   support. They also urged others to get active in spreading awareness for   
   what could only be described as an intolerable act of political oppression.   
      
   “Absolutely sick to my stomach over this. Even after all the shocking   
   injustice done to Sam and his family, I didn’t think the UK “government”   
   could be this inhumane and cruel,” said pro-White podcaster and dissident   
   artist Emily Youcis on X/Twitter. “Completely maddening. Let’s get this   
   insanity trending!!!”   
      
   “Jailed simply for being a Nationalist and putting up pro-White stickers=   
   not punishment enough in the eyes of the state,” said X/Twitter user Katie   
   Campbell. “They must crush anyone who disobeys the destructive new world   
   order by any means necessary. We’re dealing with a special level of evil.”   
      
   Pro-White activists who prioritize their people over foreign interests are   
   often targeted with judicial “lawfare” and face prison time for merely   
   questioning the status quo. In the United Kingdom, Melia is joined by   
   activists James Costello, James Allchurch, aka Sven Longshanks, and Kris   
   Kearney, aka Charlie Big Potatoes, who were sentenced to lengthy prison   
   terms for equally nonviolent and politically motivated infractions.   
      
   Just this year, Marie-Thérèse Kaiser of Germany’s nationalist Alternative   
   for Germany (AFD) party, earned a criminal conviction for the thought crime   
   of “incitement to hatred.” Kaiser was slapped with heavy fines for merely   
   associating an influx of refugees from Afghanistan with gang rapes on   
   social media. The incident would come just after four Germans were arrested   
   for simply leaving flowers at the window of Adolf Hitler’s Austrian birth   
   home.
