Man posted propaganda video to Instagram after Liverpool Women's terror attack

A man shared a terrorist propaganda video on Instagram after the attack at Liverpool Women's Hospital, a jury has heard.

Ahmiri Ahmedi Azizi, 24, of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, is said to have shared the footage the day after Emad Al Swealmeen was killed when his device exploded in a taxi outside the hospital last November. The video, which encouraged terrorist attacks against the West, was posted on his public Instagram account, Manchester Crown Court heard.

Later that month Azizi allegedly viewed a video on how to make a silencer for an automatic rifle. The 24-year-old is accused of seven counts of disseminating terrorist material either via Instagram or the encrypted Telegram app between June and November last year.
