A man who sent money to a nephew fighting for a terror group in Syria is given a community order.
A "misguided" father-of-two who sent US dollars to a nephew who was fighting for an Islamist terrorist group in Syria has been given a community sentence.
He had been found guilty of two offences under the Terrorism Act 2000 and was given a three-year community sentence at the Old Bailey in London.Mohammad's nephew also asked for money to help fund transport methods in Syria, prosecutors said Mr Hussian said his client was married with two children, had been a man of "good character" and his period of offending had been "distinct".Judge Angela Rafferty said the public expected people who committed terrorist offences to be jailed, but recognised it was an "exceptional" and "quite unusual case".
She said he had been shunned by the community after his conviction and had lost his accommodation and job as a result.
