(Press Release) A 24-year-old man has been jailed for six years as a result of an investigation by the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command, which found that he was sharing Daesh propaganda and terrorist material via social media apps.
The investigation into Ismail Kissa (01.04.99), from east London, was launched after he was stopped at Stansted Airport on 29 March 2022 by ports officers from the Eastern Region Special Operations Unit (ERSOU) using powers under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000.
He was spoken to by officers, who also examined two mobile phones he was carrying. On initial review of the phones, officers found a number of files and videos of concern linked to Daesh and Islamist terrorism.
