(Sky News) A former senior Labour MP has called on the man who took his seat to “provide a full account of all his dealings” with one of his vocal supporters who is now facing terrorism charges.
Leicestershire Police confirmed on Wednesday that Majid Novsarka — known as Majid Freeman — was facing allegations of encouragement of terrorism and supporting a proscribed organisation, and will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court later this month.
Novsarka, who is from Leicester, was a staunch advocate for Shockat Adam, who won the seat of Leicester South in last week’s general election, ousting Labour’s then-shadow paymaster general Jonathan Ashworth from the constituency by 979 votes.
