(BBC) A self-styled “keyboard warrior” and Hamas supporter who threatened Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer with a knife emoji on social media has been jailed for a year.
Mohammed Nafees Ahmed, 32, from Tipton, near Birmingham, had previously appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court to admit eight charges of supporting a proscribed terrorist organisation.
The court heard he sent posts to politicians in the UK and US — including President Biden — following the Hamas attack on Israel on 7 October 2023.
Jailing him at the Old Bailey, Judge Nigel Lickley KC said his offences were so serious only an immediate jail term would do.
