A man previously convicted for stirring up racial hatred after sticking up antisemitic posters outside a synagogue in Gants Hill has been jailed for encouraging terrorism. 

Shehroz Iqbal, 29, from East London, was sentenced during a hearing at the Old Bailey last week to more than eight years behind bars for terror offences.

He was found guilty last month of disseminating terrorist material and encouraging terrorism.

He was arrested earlier this year after counter terrorism detectives found an Isis propaganda video on his Facebook page.
