Reformed racist has Nazi tattoos removed in world first operation

Surgery begins: Bryon Widner as he began the treatment

A FORMER skinhead has erased his racist past after having 25 agonising operations to remove hate tattoos from his face and hands.

Bryon Widner, 34, went through 16 months of laser surgery on intimidating images including several swastikas and a blood-soaked razor.

Widner’s £20,000 treatment was organised by a black campaigner when he turned away from racism after finding love and starting a family.

The dad has received death threats for exposing racists but said: “It’s a small price to pay for being human again.”

The former neo-Nazi also had the words “Blood & Honour” inked on his neck and “Thug Reich” on his stomach.

Act against Ibrahim Ali for racist statement, says Khairy

KUALA LUMPUR - Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin urged the authorities to take action against Malay rights group Perkasa's president Datuk Ibrahim Ali for 'threatening' the Chinese community.

"It is a racist and seditious statement that is dangerous.

"Action should be taken against him as his statement is a clear threat," he told reporters at Parliament's lobby here on Monday.

He added that the authorities should use the Sedition Act to investigate Ibrahim over his statement.

Although supporting freedom of expression, Khairy said that Ibrahim had gone beyond that and had made a threat against the Chinese community by asking them to 'stock-up' for July 9.

He assured the Chinese community that the view put forth by Ibrahim was solely his own and did not represent that of Malays in general.

"Umno Youth does not subscribe to such a view," he added.

Ibrahim, who recently announced that Perkasa would hold a demonstration to counter the planned Bersih 2.0 street rally on July 9, had called on the Chinese to stock up on food.
