Two Britons seeking asylum in the United States after being convicted of hate speech crimes in the UK will be deported after nearly a year in U.S. custody.
Stephen Whittle, 42, and Simon Sheppard, 52, of Selby, fled in July 2008 after being convicted of publishing hate speech against Jews and other groups on their website.
Whittle had been facing up to two years in jail; Sheppard, five. U.S. officials would not say when they will be returned to the UK.
