- Published
A man has denied a charge of expressing support for a proscribed terror organisation.
Mohammed Zahir Khan, of Alum Rock, Birmingham, entered his plea - over allegations concerning Hamas - during an appearance at the Old Bailey via video link from prison.
The 47-year-old was charged in March over allegations that between 30 January and 12 February, on at least three occasions, he expressed support for Hamas and "was reckless" as to whether a person would be encouraged to support the group.
He denied four other charges but pleaded guilty to failing to comply with a serious crime prevention order.
He is due to appear next at Birmingham Crown Court on 11 July, with a provisional trial date set for 15 December.
The charges also denied by Mr Khan included failing to comply with notification requirements relating to email addresses, a telephone number and vehicle registration.
He admitted "failing to provide information relating to a communications device and use of social media accounts".
