Burdi convicted
By Paul Lungen
CJN Staff Reporter

TORONTO - The assault conviction last week of a key Canadian
neo-Nazi is expected to put a damper on white supremacy plans to
recruit young people.

The conviction will also prevent George Burdi, 24, from entering the
United States. In recent years Burdi, a resident of Woodbridge,
Ont., has produced hate recordings in Detroit under the Resistance
Records label. He is also involved with _Resistance_ magazine.

Last week in Ottawa, a seven-man, five-woman jury deliberated for
almost five hours before finding Burdi guilty of kicking an
anti-racist in the face during a wild brawl at the Canadian War
Memorial on May 29, 1993.

Alicia Reckzin, 22, suffered a broken nose in the attack.

Burdi was in Ottawa with his band RaHoWa (Racial Holy War) to play a
concert, which was broken up by anti-racists and the Ottawa police
riot squad. Later, a group of white supremacists roamed through
downtown Ottawa and Burdi and Heritage Front leader Wolfgang Droege
led a charge into a group of anti-racists.

Droege, who entered the court wearing leg shackles, testified that
he, not Burdi, led the charge against the anti-racists.

Burdi will be sentenced on May 11.
