Witton Man Jailed for Spreading Extremist Videos
Musa Muhammad, 30, from Dunsink Road, Witton, was sentenced to five years in prison at Birmingham Crown Court on Friday. He admitted to possessing and sharing extremist videos, offences he pleaded guilty to back in March.
Long-Term Terrorism Order Imposed
Muhammad is also subject to a 15-year Part 4 order, reserved for terrorism offenders jailed for 12 months or more. Under this order, he must notify police about any changes to his address, stays of seven days or more elsewhere, and any foreign travel plans exceeding three days before leaving the UK.
Counter Terror Chief Issues Warning
Detective Chief Superintendent Mark Payne, head of Counter Terrorism Policing West Midlands CTU, said: “We cannot underestimate the dangerous nature of extremist propaganda and the influence it can have; which is why it is so important to hold to account those who share such social media posts.”
“Communities defeat terrorism, and it remains vitally important that the public reports any suspicious activity to police. We can only succeed where we have the support of the public, and communities have shown time and time again that they are united in their rejection of those who wish to divide us, and spread hate in the face of extremism.”
