A UNIVERSITY of Cambridge student from Manchester has been jailed for terrorism offences at Manchester Crown Court. Oliver Bel, of Cherry Tree Close, Wilmslow, was jailed today for two years after being found guilty of possession of documents likely to be useful to a person preparing, or committing, an act of terrorism. He first came to police attention in early 2019, while he was a student at Cambridge University. Complaints relating to Bel s online activity including social media posts expressing anti-Semitic and extreme right wing views were received by police. A search warrant was executed at Bel s address following a number of extreme right wing posts made by him appearing in a news article from Hope not Hate - an advocacy group campaigning against racism.
