Early reports about attacks are often incomplete and sometimes wrong. This page reports only what named outlets and officials say, in their words, and is updated as reporting changes. If you are near an incident, follow instructions from local authorities and call your local emergency number.
A 58-year-old man from Brighton was charged on Thursday, October 1, with failing to comply with a Terrorist Notification Order.[1]
This is not a report of an attack or a plot. It is a charge about breaking the conditions of a court order. We cover it because it is a terrorism-related prosecution and the details are public.
What police say
Abubaker Deghayes, of Chadborn Close, Brighton, was charged with failing to comply with notification requirements under section 54 of the Counter-Terrorism Act 2008, according to More Radio.[1]
Sussex Police said: “A man has been charged in connection with a breach of a Part 4 Terrorist Notification Order.” The investigation was led by Counter Terrorism Policing South East.[2]
He was remanded in custody and was due before Westminster Magistrates’ Court on October 1.[2]
What the law says
Part 4 of the Counter-Terrorism Act 2008 “imposes notification requirements on persons dealt with in respect of certain offences.” Section 54 makes it an offence to fail, without reasonable excuse, to comply with those requirements.[3]
The maximum penalty on conviction on indictment is imprisonment for up to five years, a fine, or both.[3]
What we do not know
Police released no details of what the alleged breach was or what led to the order. sussex.news notes that the charge “remains an allegation” and that the man has not been convicted.[2]
Because the terms of the order and the alleged breach have not been described publicly, nothing in these reports says the man was involved in any plot or attack. The charge is about whether he followed the order’s requirements.
