A former student who was given a suspended prison sentence and told to read classic literature after being convicted of a terrorism offence has now been jailed.
Ben John, described by police as a white supremacist with a neo-Nazi ideology, was given a two-year suspended term at Leicester Crown Court last August.
The 22-year-old has had his sentence increased at the Court of Appeal after Lord Justice Holroyde quashed the original, finding it was unlawful.
Lord Justice Holroyde said: “We are satisfied that there must be a sentence of immediate imprisonment.”
