Terror Supporter Ajmal Shahpal Slapped with 15-Year Terror Notification
Ajmal Shahpal has been hit with a 15-year terrorist notification order after backing vile attacks in Paris that shocked the world. The 41-year-old openly praised terror acts linked to the Charlie Hebdo shooting and the murder of teacher Samuel Paty.
Shahpal’s Social Media Rampage
- On 26 September 2020, Shahpal tweeted in support of the terrorist who attacked near Charlie Hebdo’s former offices.
- Between 15 and 30 October 2020, he glorified the killing of Samuel Paty, who was murdered after showing cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad to his class.
- He even encouraged others to carry out similar violence, spreading extremism through his account.
Police Clampdown and Public Safety
Shahpal’s notification means he must regularly provide authorities with personal details so police can monitor any threat he poses. This hefty 15-year restriction aims to keep communities safe.
“The tweets showed clear support for terrorist attacks and incited others to act violently,” said Detective Inspector David Bola of Counter Terrorism Policing East Midlands. “Shahpal’s extremist messages promoting ‘punishment of blasphemers’ were inflammatory and dangerous.” “This successful outcome owes to a joint effort by officers and staff across the East Midlands and the Counter Terrorism Policing network.” “Judge Inman KC praised the investigation team for their hard work.” “Public safety is our top priority. We work closely with partners to root out terror threats and protect the vulnerable.”
