(BBC) A man who posted an image of a terrorism victim’s severed head on Twitter, urging others to decapitate those who insult Islam, has been found guilty of encouraging terrorist acts.
Ajmal Shahpal also praised the killer of French school teacher Samuel Paty for being “as brave as a lion.”
The 41-year-old, of Birkin Avenue in Radford, Nottingham, was convicted after a trial at Birmingham Crown Court.
He is due to be sentenced on 13 April.
Jurors deliberated for about five hours before convicting Shahpal by majority verdicts of one count of intentionally encouraging terrorist acts and one of doing so recklessly.
