Rapport i New York Times:
Citat:
Last September, Patrik Hermansson, a 25-year-old graduate student from Sweden, went undercover in the world of the extreme right. Posing as a student writing a thesis about the suppression of right-wing speech, he traveled from London to New York to Charlottesville, Va. — and into the heart of a dangerous movement that is experiencing a profound rejuvenation.
Mr. Hermansson, who was sent undercover by the British anti-racist watchdog group Hope Not Hate, spent months insinuating himself into the alt-right, using his Swedish nationality (many neo-Nazis are obsessed with Sweden because of its “Nordic” heritage) as a way in. It wasn’t always easy. “You want to punch them in the face,” he told me of the people he met undercover. “You want to scream and do whatever — leave. But you can’t do any of those things. You have to sit and smile.”

Han har knutit kontakter i både Europa och USA. Han har bland annat smygfilmat en intervju med Greg Johnson som aldrig syns på bild annars.
New York Times har några korta bitar, men det kommer förmodligen nåt längre via Hope Not Hate, som anlitade honom.
Här kan vi diskutera avslöjanden, påverkan på rörelsen osv.
