A man faces serious allegations after reportedly attacking individuals at Camp Sovereignty. He is accused of striking one person in the collarbone and kicking another. In a further escalation, he allegedly launched a projectile at the camp.

In the altercation, it is claimed the man spat on Sewell, prompting Sewell to defend himself. This confrontation reportedly resulted in a physical exchange where Sewell gained the upper hand. The man was subsequently subdued by other members of Sewell’s group, who allegedly kicked him in the head.

The case against Sewell was presented in Melbourne’s Supreme Court, where prosecutors argued against granting him bail. They highlighted the significant risk of re-offending due to his leadership role in a group known for its history of hate crimes and violent acts.

Sewell stands accused of orchestrating a group assault on Camp Sovereignty, which took place in Melbourne this August. The incident has drawn attention due to its violent nature and the serious charges involved.

Sewell’s group, the National Socialist Network, tended to “act violently to vulnerable groups, including ethnic minorities”, prosecutors said.

Prosecutor Erik Dober said Sewell’s offending was serious as he told a group of about 30 men dressed in black, “let’s get ’em” and led them towards the camp at King’s Domain, a sacred site for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.

Sewell, who had spent 72 days in custody, was bailed on a $20,000 surety, which his partner will have to forfeit if he breaches any bail conditions.
