Mohammed Afzal of Preston, Lancashire has been jailed for 3 years and 9 months following an investigation led by Counter Terrorism of Policing North West (CTPNW) and supported by Lancashire Constabulary.
The sentencing followed an earlier hearing where Afzal pleaded guilty on 13 February 2023 to four offences relating to the dissemination of terrorist publications (contrary to section 2 of the Terrorism Act 2006) and four offences relating to the collection of terrorist information (contrary to section 58 of TACT 2000).
The investigation was carried out into the online activities of Afzal after he was found to be posting extremist related material on social media.
