LONDON -A British court has barred a far right, anti-immigrant political party from accepting new members until it stops discriminating against nonwhite people.
The British National Party was ordered last year to scrap its whites-only membership rules to comply with race relations laws.
The party voted last month to change its constitution so that black and Asian people could join, but critics said the changes were too vague.
A judge at the Central London County Court ruled Friday that the party was "likely to commit unlawful acts of discrimination" and ordered it to close its membership list.
The BNP opposes immigration and claims to fight for "indigenous" Britons. Leader Nick Griffin is notorious in Britain for denying the Holocaust in the past.
