Two men have been sentenced today for terrorism fundraising and inciting terrorist activities. Abu Izzadeen, also known as Omar Brooks, and Sulayman Keeler, born Simon Keeler, were both sentenced to jail terms at Kingston Crown Court today. Izzadeen was sentenced to two and a half years in prison for fundraising for terrorism and four and a half years for inciting acts of terrorism abroad. However, as is often the case in the UK, the terms will be served concurrently. Keeler, a British born Muslim convert, was handed the same sentence. Three others were also given jail sentences. Abdul Saleem, who was found guilty at Kingston Crown Court of inciting terrorism, was jailed for three years, nine months.
Ibrahim Hassan was handed a sentence of two years, nine months after being found guilty of the same charge. Abdul Mahid, who was found guilty of fundraising for terrorists, was jailed for two years. Mahid will serve this sentence once he has completed his current jail term for soliciting murder during protests against the publication of cartoons in a Danish newspaper depicting the prophet Mohammed.
