UK woman charged with terrorism offence for support of Hamas

A northwest London woman was charged with a terrorism offense for supporting Hamas, the Metropolitan Police said last Thursday.

Sara El-Houssein, 23, was charged on March 21 for on October 17 posting an image of an article in a manner that allegedly expressed support for the proscribed terrorist organization.

"I hope this example shows that we take this extremely seriously and that we will take action if and where we identify potential terrorist or criminal activity," said Met Counter Terrorism Command head Commander Dominic Murphy.
