(Press Release) A man who posted supportive messages on social media about proscribed terrorist groups as well as antisemitic posts has been jailed.
Zakir Hussain, 30 (09.01.95) of Harlow, was arrested in March last year after officers from the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command linked him to an X account posting statements in support of Hamas and Hizballah.
Writing on account “@lewiswarren911,” Hussain posted a series of messages on X between November 2023 and January 2024 that celebrated the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack on Israel. He also wrote numerous antisemitic comments, including praise for the actions of Adolf Hitler.
