This is the first time that officers have arrested, and now charged, anyone using the powers and legislation brought in under the National Security Act
Tasnia Ahmed, 21, of east London (E14) was found guilty of two counts of failing to disclose information about acts of terrorism to the police.
Devices seized by officers provided evidence that the man was an administrator on a Telegram channel, and had shared terrorist publications that encouraged Jihad
The breaches relate to the failure to notify officers about a bank account and a vehicle that had been de-registered from the man's possession
The social media posts were assessed by specialist officers who believed the posts could be in breach of terrorism legislation and the case was passed for further investigation
The posts were flagged to the Counter Terrorism Internet Referral Unit (CTIRU) in late October 2023 via a public referral
As part of the same investigation, five people have previously been arrested and charged, and are awaiting trial.
Shafi Saleem, of east London, posted Daesh propaganda footage on one of his private social media feeds.
