| An "influential" imam accused of encouraging support for so-called Islamic State at a mosque has appeared in court. Kamran Sabir Hussain faces eight terrorism charges in connection with his work in Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent. He is accused of influencing his congregation to carry out terrorist acts. The 39-year-old, of Knightsbridge Way, Tunstall, was remanded in custody at Westminster Magistrates' Court. Prosecutor Karen Jones described Mr Hussain as a "prominent and influential person in the community". The offences are alleged to have taken place between June and September 2016 at the mosque, based at 229 High Street. |
