Bradford man jailed for uploading IS propaganda

    A Bradford man has been jailed for uploading Islamic State propaganda videos.

    Sagheer Hussain, of Bishop Street, Bradford, was found guilty of three terrorism offences after a trial at Leeds Crown Court. He was sentenced to five years in prison.

    The court heard how the 39-year-old uploaded videos to his Google account via YouTube, which were seen more than 25,000 times.

    Hussain was arrested by officers from the North-East Counter Terrorism Unit in January 2016.

    As well as uploading videos, he also added comments in support of the content of the clips.

    The videos and posts were later removed by police.
