A jury has found a man guilty of sharing a video on Facebook which glorified fighters from so-called Islamic State (IS). Sabbir Miah, 29, posted the propaganda in a private group on the social networking site in June last year.
Jurors at the Old Bailey took 10 hours and two minutes to find Miah, of Newham, east London, guilty of a single charge of disseminating a terrorist publication. They had been told he had five previous convictions for similar offences committed in 2016 and 2017.
Judge Anuja Dhir QC called for pre-sentence reports and adjourned sentencing to October 4. The judge said the previous convictions were “highly relevant” for the pre-sentence reports.
