Four men in Swedish ‘active club’ jailed over racially motivated assaults

Men aged 20 to 23 were connected to Active Club Sweden, part of growing gym-focused pattern in far-right activism

Four men in Sweden have been found guilty of racially motivated assaults and sentenced to jail after a trial that revealed a growing pattern of far-right activists banding together in fitness clubs.

The four men, aged 20 to 23, were members of an “active club” – loosely structured groups that meet in gyms and aim to promote white nationalist, misogynist and hyper-masculine ideology.
