Last updated 11th Sep 2026
Moin Uddin, a 60-year-old from Smethwick, has been convicted of terrorism and public order offences at Birmingham Crown Court.
The conviction follows an investigation by Counter Terrorism Policing West Midlands into social media posts made by Uddin in December 2023 and January 2024.
The posts included messages supporting proscribed organisations and material stirring up racial hatred.
On Tuesday, 8th September, Uddin was found guilty of three counts of supporting a proscribed organisation and two additional offences of stirring up racial hatred.
Detective Chief Superintendent Alison Hurst, Head of Counter Terrorism Policing West Midlands, emphasised the significance of public cooperation in the investigation.
"Uddin used social media to post support for proscribed organisations and stir up racial hatred," Hurst said.
"He posted material which would have been deeply upsetting to others, and his actions were clearly against the law.
It was thanks to information we received from the public that led to the investigation and prosecution of Uddin. It highlights the importance of sharing information with us so we can look to act."
Uddin is scheduled to be sentenced on 10th November.
