A 23-year-old from the Cardiff area has today, September 22, been sentenced following a proactive investigation led by Counter Terrorism Policing Wales.
Nermin Onour was initially arrested in October 2024 on suspicion of encouragement of terrorism contrary to Section 1 of the Terrorism Act 2006. On arrest, Onour was asked to provide her phone pin number and despite officers explaining that her refusal could lead to a criminal offence, she refused.
Nermin Onjour, 23, has been jailed for 18 months.
Shortly after, Onour was served with a Section 49 Advisory Notice which essentially advises an individual to provide access to a digital device or risk prosecution. Following the 23-year-olds continued refusal she was then handed a formal Section 49 notice.
Following her appearance at the Old Bailey today, Onour was given an 18-month custodial sentence.
Detective Chief Inspector Leanne Williams, Counter Terrorism Policing Wales said: “This is a prime example of how failure to comply with a Section 49 Notice can lead to a criminal conviction and imprisonment.
The investigation into Nermin Onour’s initial arrest will continue whilst she remains in custody.”
