Man jailed for spreading ISIS propaganda

Taha Hussain, a friend of London Bridge attacker Khuram Butt, has been jailed for making ISIS propaganda videos outside Windsor Castle. The 21-year-old filmed himself, and another, driving around Windsor Castle and Coldstream Guards barracks shouting ISIS terrorist slogans and threatening to topple a statue of Queen Victoria. Hussain, who was arrested in August 2016, was also found guilty of publishing social media videos justify the Charlie Hebdo and Paris attacks in 2015 and offering advice to those contemplating going to Syria. DCS Kath Barnes, head of counter-terrorism policing south-east, said: “Extremist posts like the ones Hussain posted and shared have the power to influence other people and particularly those who may be young and impressionable or vulnerable for a variety of reasons. This could lead to those influenced individuals committing acts of terror which clearly has devastating effects on communities, the individual and their family and friends.”
