A man who shared disturbing extremist material showing support for terrorist organisations online has been jailed. Mohammed Hamasaleh posted video and files said to have 'encourage martyrdom and the glorification of Jihad'.

He shared an audio recording of a speech by a leader of the so-called Islamic State and a website address to a page encouraging terrorist acts.

The 25-year-old pleaded guilty - on the third day of his trial - to seven counts of disseminating terrorist publications. He was jailed for 11 years at Manchester Crown Court on Wednesday (December 11).

His devices were seized and analysed. Officers discovered Hamasalen had disseminated terrorist publications, including videos through his Telegram account. "A number of messages sent by the defendant proved evidence of his affiliation to ISIS and their extreme form of teaching Islam," he said. "The tone of [one] video is aggressive, provocative and encourages like minded individuals to carry out martyrdom and the glorification of Jihad." Hamasaleh sent the video to someone online on March 30, 2022 and said: "I hope you listen to them, they're important things." Another video showed four men being killed.
