Man denies sharing 'terrorist' videos online

A Kent man will face trial next year having denied distributing "terrorist" videos.

Mohammad Malik, 22, from Gillingham, pleaded not guilty to the charges, which allege dissemination of the publications while intending or being reckless as to their use to encourage acts of terrorism, in a hearing at Winchester Crown Court on Monday.

The charges include allegations of the sharing of a video called "Go and answer the call" on 8 June 2024 and another called "Disbelievers of the world" on 21 July of the same year. A third video was allegedly shared on 3 November.

Mr Malik was released on conditional bail with a trial set to start on 16 March 2026.
