According to a press release issued by Counter Terrorism Police Police, Zaheed Hossen, 30, from north London, has been sentenced to seven years’ imprisonment for disseminating terrorist publications.
Hossen was convicted of five counts of sharing terrorist material, following an investigation initiated in August 2020 when he was stopped at Stansted Airport under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000.
The investigation began when officers, using Schedule 7 powers, stopped and examined Hossen as he was travelling to Turkey. Although initially allowed to continue his journey, officers seized his phone to conduct further inquiries. The investigation led to the discovery of material that was deemed to breach terrorism legislation.
After returning to the UK, Hossen was arrested and charged with five counts of disseminating terrorist material. Following a trial at Kingston Crown Court, Hossen was found guilty on 8 August 2024. He was sentenced on 10 December 2024 for his actions.
Commander Dominic Murphy, head of the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command, remarked:
“This investigation came about after officers stopped Hossen using ‘Schedule 7’ powers as he travelled through the airport. These powers help us to identify potential terrorist activity and they ultimately help us to keep the public and UK safe.”
The investigation underscores the importance of counter-terrorism measures and the role of the public in identifying and reporting suspicious activity. The police encourage anyone who encounters extremist or terrorist material online to report it to authorities to help prevent harm and ensure public safety.
When the mob starts to reason all is lost.

It would be easier to believe this if UK police weren’t locking up our own teenagers under the terrorism act for preventing the UK from sending arms that are being used on children in Palestine. If preventing terrorism is considered terrorism, we can’t trust a word they say about terrorists.
Idiot……… 😞
Palestine/Israel is an utter mess, with victims and terrorists on both sides, therefore siding with one faction over the other is foolish and can indeed be terroristic.
Agreed , land and religion are the main reasons for war .👽👽
The difference is that Israel is an island of human civilization fighting against genocide in the most barbarous part of the planet and doing so with admirable restraint.
The teenagers you mention are racist loonies on a moral par with those who march for genocide on Saturdays providing cover for racist attacks on Jews.
