39-year-old man jailed for Counter Terrorism Act breaches

A man previously convicted of terrorism offences who breached his notification requirements has been jailed after an investigation by the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command.

Ismail Abdurahman, from south-east London, pleaded guilty on 22 June at Kingston Crown Court to three breaches of Part 4 Notification Order requirements under the Counter-Terrorism Act 2008 – namely failing to notify police of a mobile phone number and email account he was using, as well as not notifying them of a vehicle he had access to.

He was sentenced on 4 August at the same court to eight months’ imprisonment in relation to the breaches.

Commander Richard Smith, head of the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command said: “When those convicted for terrorist offences are released from prison, they are subject to licence conditions and notification orders – as was Abdurahman in this case.

“These conditions and orders are designed to help keep the public safe and we will make sure we do everything we can, working with our partners, to monitor those subject to such measures. When they fail to comply, as Abdurahman did, we will not hesitate to investigate, and put them before the courts.”
