UK Newcastle Crown Court sentenced a Syrian civil engineer for sharing terrorism videos on Facebook. Jurors found the 32-year-old guilty of six counts of sharing terrorist material. Abdulrahman Al-Charbati received multiple warnings from Facebook for violating user laws by sharing extremist videos related to the conflict in Syria, which he repeatedly posted on his page. Later on, his page was reported and permanently blocked. Despite the bans, the 32-year-old married father posted six “terrorist publications” on his profile, which had 5,000 “friends”, in the course of one day in February last year. Prosecutors said the videos, which show men in military uniform being murdered, others praising “martyrs” and promoting suicide bombings, could “encourage the watcher to commit acts of terrorism”. After counter-terrorism police raided his home at Noble Street, Sunderland, officers seized his phone and found a bomb-making manual titled "Easy Explosives". The shocking, 120-page document contained advice for bomb-makers, which included handling their device "gently and softly", like a "creature", while it is being manufactured. Al-Charbati told police "I just posted the news" and has been on trial accused of six offenses of dissemination of a terrorist publication and one of possession of a document containing terrorist information. After less than three hours of deliberation, he was found guilty of all charges. “Not only did the defendant know he was posting extremist material at the time, he was told he was doing so, in clear terms, by the administrators at Facebook,” Prosecutor Dan Pawson-Pounds said. “He was repeatedly warned he was posting material that contravened Facebook guidelines and kept having his account suspended as a result.” “Contravening guidelines is not a criminal offense. The relevance here is he had been warned about the nature of the material he was posting.” “Despite the material, he was able to convince Facebook to reinstate his account before carrying on in exactly the same way as before.” “His account was finally and permanently closed in mid-March last year, a month after he posted the video links that form the subject of the material on the indictment,” the prosecutor concluded.
