‘Political prisoner’ Sam Melia denied access to his own children

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.

On Friday, a Muslim knife attacker was filmed brutally stabbing
counter-jihad activist Michael Stürzenberger at a protest in the German
city of Mannheim. The terror attack sparked further debate over
uncontrolled immigration into Europe, and the steps needed to stem the
flow.

Patriotic Alternative would like those upset by this incident to contact
Complaints and Correspondence at HMP Hull via email or letter. For a sample

[…] Leeds crown court heard the charges related to racist stickers Melia
allegedly designed and produced between 2019 and 2021, which he had then
posted in public places around his community and encouraged thousands of
online followers to imitate. They bore slogans such as “Reject white
guilt”, “Nationalism is nurture”, “We will be a minority in our homeland
by 2066” […]

racist stickers Melia allegedly designed and produced between 2019 and 2021
“We will be a minority in our homeland by 2066”
Can’t get any more racist than that, am I right?

Fortunately, it seems that there were some positive changes:

“🤍 Thank you all so much 🤍

I’ve just received a call from Sam Melia in HMP Hull. His Probation Officer
has just informed him that they’ve been “inundated” with letters and emails
complaining about Sam not being able to have any contact with his children.
As a result, they‘ve decided to remove all but one of the restrictions.
This means that Sam can now:

- Receive photographs of his children
- Receive letters from his children
- Talk to his children on the phone
- Talk about his children

He is still unable to receive visits from his children, however HMP Hull
have advised they only haven’t removed this because they legally aren’t
allowed to as an assessment has already started to take place. This means
the assessment is already moving forward so hopefully the final restriction
will be lifted very soon too, all being well.

This goes to show that:

A) Public pressure does work
B) They didn’t actually have to put all those restrictions on Sam in the
first place, they just chose to

Thank you so much to everybody who complained to the prison. Honestly, from
the bottom of our hearts. It means so much to me and Sam. I’ll let you all
know what happens with the visit restriction as soon as I know more.”
