(BBC) A man jailed for encouraging terrorism in a speech in a mosque has had his sentence cut by a year.
Abubaker Deghayes, from Saltdean, East Sussex, was convicted at the Old Bailey in April 2022, and sentenced to four years with an additional year on licence.
At the Court of Appeal on Wednesday the jail term was reduced to three years.
Three appeal court judges ruled there had been a miscalculation in the sentence by the trial judge.
Deghayes promoted “jihad by sword” when he addressed worshippers at the Brighton Mosque and Muslim Community Centre in November 2020.
