(Press Release) A man who shared propaganda glorifying Daesh and acts of terrorism on social media has today, Thursday, [25] April, been found guilty of terrorism offences following an investigation by the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command.
Hamza Alam, 22 (27.07.01), of Romford, east London, insisted he was an “online librarian” when interviewed by police, after he was arrested in June 2022 by counter-terrorism detectives investigating an online messaging channel.
Devices seized by officers provided evidence that Alam, who went by the acronym “H,” was an administrator on a Telegram channel, and had shared terrorist publications that encouraged jihad.
Specialist officers from the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command also identified further content on Alam’s social media channels that glorified Daesh fighters and the preparation and commission of terrorist acts.
