flag Neo-Nazi leader Thomas Sewell seeks bail after leading attack on Aboriginal protest site, injuring seven.

Thomas Sewell, a 32-year-old neo-Nazi leader, has sought bail for a second time after being charged in connection with a violent August 31 attack on Camp Sovereignty, an Aboriginal protest site in Melbourne. Prosecutors say he led a group of about 30 men, shouting “let’s get ‘em,” resulting in at least seven injuries, including head wounds requiring staples. His defense argues that 15 co-accused have been granted bail and that a trial delay could exceed any potential sentence, proposing strict conditions to limit risk. A $20,000 surety was provided by his fiancée, who is caring for their two children. Prosecutors oppose release, citing Sewell’s central role and the potential for a near-maximum 10-year sentence. Justice James Elliott is set to rule Thursday.
