Man jailed for sharing ‘horrific’ IS videos

(BBC) A man has been jailed for sharing “horrific” beheading videos glorifying the Islamic State (IS) group.

Faseh Sajid was 18 when he began posting videos featuring armed IS fighters and mass execution in an encrypted group chat.

The material was found on his phone when police searched the home he shared with his mother in Speedwell, Bristol, in November 2022.

Judge Anthony Leonard KC, jailing Sajid for three years and nine months at the Old Bailey, said: “The material you dealt in was horrific and clearly glorified the conduct of Isis killers.”

The court heard one of the groups the defendant posted material on had nearly 4,000 members, including some with sympathies for IS.
