A FORMER ‘Miss Hitler’ beauty pageant contestant who was jailed for being a member of far-right terrorist group National Action is to be released.

Alice Cutter, originally from Bradford, was jailed for three years back in June 2020.

According to national newspaper reports, she was told on Monday she would be freed on licence but will have to follow strict conditions including an exclusion zone, wearing an electronic tag and adhering to a curfew.

She is said to have given evidence during her parole hearing and is believed to have emphasised her exemplary behaviour and progress in jail.

Cutter, who was 23 at the time, was one of four neo-Nazi "diehards" convicted of being members of the banned group.

The group, labelled "racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic" by the then-home secretary Amber Rudd, was banned in December 2016 after a series of rallies and incidents, including praise of the murder of MP Jo Cox.

Cutter, who entered the Miss Hitler beauty contest as Miss Buchenwald - a reference to the Second World War death camp - had denied ever being a member, despite attending the group's rallies, in which banners reading "Hitler was right" were raised.

Jurors were also shown messages in which the waitress joked about gassing synagogues, using a Jew's head as a football, and exclaiming "Rot in hell, bitch" after hearing of Ms Cox's murder.

A spokesperson for the Parole Board said: 'We can confirm that a panel of the Parole Board has directed the release of Alice Cutter following an oral hearing.

'Parole Board decisions are solely focused on what risk a prisoner could represent to the public if released and whether that risk is manageable in the community.

'A panel will carefully examine a huge range of evidence, including details of the original crime, and any evidence of behaviour change, as well as explore the harm done and impact the crime has had on the victims. 

'Members read and digest hundreds of pages of evidence and reports in the lead up to an oral hearing.

'Evidence from witnesses such as probation officers, psychiatrists and psychologists, officials supervising the offender in prison as well as victim personal statements may be given at the hearing.

'It is standard for the prisoner and witnesses to be questioned at length during the hearing which often lasts a full day or more.

“Parole reviews are undertaken thoroughly and with extreme care. Protecting the public is our number one priority.”
