A MAN has been charged with a terrorism offence after allegedly posting support for Hamas online.

Ozain Yousef, 23, from the Chapeltown area of Leeds, was arrested on November 24 last year on suspicion of supporting a proscribed organisation, Counter Terrorism Policing North East said.

He has been charged with one terrorism offence over claims he published a series of images online, in such a way as to arouse reasonable suspicion that he is a supporter of banned terrorist group Hamas.

Yousef is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court tomorrow.
