(BBC) A 20-year-old woman who was convicted of possessing a pro-Islamic State group video has been sentenced to a two-year community order.
Dzhamilya Timaeva, from Windsor, Berkshire, was 17 when she was stopped at Heathrow Airport as she travelled to Turkey with her family in October 2022.
Counter-terrorism detectives found the pro-Islamic State group video entitled “Incite the Believers” on her mobile phone, which she had downloaded via the Telegram app.
In January, a jury convicted her of possessing a terrorist document. They found the dental nurse not guilty of disseminating terrorist publications.
Timaeva was stopped at the airport because she had been on the Channel scheme — which is part of the government’s counter-extremism Prevent programme.
