(Press Release) Detectives from the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command have charged a man in relation to social media posts, which allegedly show support for the proscribed terrorist group Hamas.
The posts were flagged to the Counter Terrorism Internet Referral Unit (CTIRU) in late October 2023 via a public referral. They were assessed by specialist officers, who determined the posts required further investigation as they could be in breach of terrorism laws.
The investigation was passed to detectives in the Counter Terrorism Command and officers arrested a 38-year-old man in west London on 17 November 2023 in connection with the investigation.
