A 23-year-old woman from northwest London has been charged with a terrorism-related offence after her social media activity drew public attention and led to an official investigation by the Metropolitan Police’s Counter Terrorism Command.
On October 17, 2023, the Counter Terrorism Internet Referral Unit (CTIRU) received a tip-off about social media posts that appeared to support Hamas, a group proscribed under UK terrorism laws. The posts were initially flagged by the public, prompting a detailed review by specialist officers at the CTIRU. Following their assessment, the case was escalated for further investigation due to potential breaches of terrorism legislation.
