(Press Release) A man convicted for a second time for posting a Daesh propaganda video on social media has been jailed, following an investigation by the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command.
Sabbir Miah, 29 (06.02.93) of east London, posted the video — which glorified people who fought for Daesh — to a private group which had hundreds of members on 14 June last year.
Counter-terrorism officers became aware of the post. Officers from the Counter Terrorism Internet Referral Unit (CTIRU) reviewed it, and found it to be in breach of Terrorism Act legislation.
Miah was arrested on 2 November 2021. He was later charged with dissemination of a terrorist publication (contrary to section 2 of the Terrorist Act 2006).
